About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner uses an asset they own to obtain the funding. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the value of what you already own.
Are I need security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stated in the loan contract) Asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, you can get personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
