About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner uses the assets they have to obtain the loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access however, we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security in the form charges on assets.
