About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner makes use of assets they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require a personal guarantee.
