About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner borrows from assets they own to secure the funding. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.

For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need personal guarantee and security in the form the charge of assets.
