About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner uses assets they own to get the funding. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed.
