About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner uses assets they own to secure a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are I need security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required upfront to access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150K generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
