About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner borrows from an asset they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.

Do I require security for a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required upfront to access the money However, we do require the personal guarantee.
