About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner borrows from assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to get a business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need personal guarantee and security in the form charges on assets.
