About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner uses the assets they have to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
Should I require security for a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we require a personal guarantee. need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
