What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to secure the loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.

Should I require security to get a company loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access However, we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stipulated in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed.
