About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner uses the assets they have to secure the funding. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or an business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is means of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I require security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
