About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner uses assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or an business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
