About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner makes use of an asset they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
Should I require security for an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do need an individual guarantee.
