About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner uses an asset that they own to get the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or an business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
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, then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required before you can access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans over $150K generally, you are able to get an individual guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
