About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner borrows from the assets they have to make a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
Do I need security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds However, we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required.
