About business loans

An asset-based loan is when a company owner utilises an asset that they own to make the loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to secure a company loan?
