About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner borrows from an asset they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or an business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is a personal guarantee and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
