About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner uses assets they own to secure the loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I require security to get a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access however, we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is an individual guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
