The majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stated in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you can get the option of a personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
