About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner borrows from assets they own to secure the funding. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Are I require security to get a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access However, we do need the personal guarantee.
