About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner makes use of an asset they own to make the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I need security to get a business loan?
For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as stated in the loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is a personal guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
