About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner uses an asset they own to get the loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security for a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
