About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner uses assets they own to get the loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already own.
What do I require security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans over $150,000 generally there is personal guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
