About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner uses assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I require security for a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans over $150K generally there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
