About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner borrows from the assets they have to secure the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.

For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract), asset security is not required.
