About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner uses an asset that they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already have.
What do I need security for an company loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required before you are able to access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, you are able to get an individual ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
