About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner borrows from an asset they own to get the funding. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or an business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing making use of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required upfront to access the money, however we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is a personal ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
