About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner uses an asset that they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing using the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money however, we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need a personal ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
