About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner uses an asset they own to obtain the loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or an business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I need security to get a business loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
