About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner uses the assets they have to get the funding. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security for an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract document) Asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
