About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner borrows from an asset that they own to secure a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or a company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form an asset charge.
