About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner borrows from an asset that they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an business asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
Do I need security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150K generally, there is an individual ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
