About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner uses an asset that they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able 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 is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you are able to get the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
