About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner uses the assets they have to secure a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security that is in the form charges on assets.
