About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner makes use of the assets they have to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans of over $150K generally, there is an individual guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
