About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner utilises an asset they own to make the funding. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I need security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access however, we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K generally, you are able to get personal ensure and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
