About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner makes use of an asset they own to make a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or an company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security will never be required. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
