Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner makes use of assets they own to secure the loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already own.
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not required. For loans of over $150K generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
