About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner borrows from assets they own to secure a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to get an business loan?

In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans over $150K generally, there is the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
