About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses the assets they have to secure the funding. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or an company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access However, we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
