An asset-based loan is when a company owner borrows from the assets they have to make the funding. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.

Up to $150,000 in loans no asset security is required upfront to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you can get personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
