About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner uses the assets they have to get the loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new funding using the value of what you already own.
Are I need security for a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access however, we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not needed. For loans over $150K typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
