About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner makes use of assets they own to secure the funding. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing using the value of what you already own.
Should I require security for an business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required before you can access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
