About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner uses an asset that they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to get a company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money However, we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form the charge of assets.
