About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner borrows from an asset they own to secure a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required upfront to access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is a personal guarantee and security that is in the form charges on assets.
