About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner borrows from an asset they own to get a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money however, we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
