About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner borrows from the assets they have to secure the funding. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access, however we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans over $150,000 generally, you are able to get personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
