About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner uses an asset they own to secure the funding. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we require a personal guarantee. require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
