About business loans

Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner makes use of assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.

If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans over $150K typically, you will need an individual ensure and security in the form the charge of assets.
