About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner uses an asset that they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150K generally there is personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
