About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or an business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money However, we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need a personal ensure and security in the form the charge of assets.
