About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner borrows from assets they own to secure the funding. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer 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 is the process of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security for a business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
