About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner borrows from an asset that they own to get a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s a way 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 that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you can get a personal guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
