About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner uses assets they own to secure the funding. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Are I need security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access, however we do need a personal guarantee.
