About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner borrows from the assets they have to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I require security for an company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150K generally, you can get the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
