About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner uses assets they own to secure a loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I require security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required upfront to access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you are able to get an individual guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
