About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner borrows from assets they own to make a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or an business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already own.
Are I need security for an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access but we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150K generally, there is a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
