About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to get the funding. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or an business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K generally, you are able to get personal guarantee and security in the form the charge of assets.
