About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner borrows from assets they own to secure the funding. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new funding making use of the value of what you already own.
What do I require security for a business loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money however, we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
