About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner uses an asset they own to make the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or an business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, even the big banks, tend 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 is the process of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security for an business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans over $150K typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security that is in the form charges on assets.
