About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner makes use of an asset that they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or an business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not needed. For loans of over $150K generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
