About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security for a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. For loans over $150K generally, there is an individual guarantee and security in the form charges on assets.
