About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner uses an asset that they own to get the funding. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security for a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans no asset security is required before you can access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract document) Asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
