About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner makes use of the assets they have to make the loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money however, we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
