About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner uses the assets they have to secure a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, including the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new funding using the value of what you already own.
Do I require security for a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money however, we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security is not required.
