About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner borrows from assets they own to secure the loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract document) Asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is an individual guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
