About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner utilises the assets they have to obtain a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you are able to get personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
