About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner borrows from an asset they own to get the funding. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans over $150K typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
