About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner uses assets they own to get the funding. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.

Up to $150,000 in loans it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract) Asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need an individual ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
