About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner uses an asset they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or a business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to get a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required upfront to access the money however, we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed.
