About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner borrows from the assets they have to make the funding. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is an individual ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
