About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner borrows from assets they own to make a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access however, we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans of over $150K generally, there is a personal guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
