About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner uses assets they own to get a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to secure an business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money however, we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
