About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner makes use of the assets they have to get a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required before you are able to access the money however, we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is an individual guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
