About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner uses the assets they have to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security for an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds However, we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
