About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner utilises an asset that they own to make the funding. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required before you can access the money however, we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally, you are able to get an individual guarantee and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
