About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner borrows from an asset that they own to secure the funding. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to get an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access however, we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract) Asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you are able to get an individual ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
