About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner uses assets they own to get a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it is means of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access, however we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, you can get an individual ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
