About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required upfront to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract) Asset security is not needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, there is a personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
