About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner uses an asset they own to obtain a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security for an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access however, we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you can get personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
