About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner uses an asset that they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
Are I require security for a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required upfront to access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is a personal ensure and security that is in the form an asset charge.
