About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses an asset they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to secure an company loan?

In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
