About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner borrows from an asset they own to get a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security for a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
