About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner borrows from an asset they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing using the value of what you already own.
Are I require security to get a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access However, we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you are able to get an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
