About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner makes use of an asset they own to get a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing using the value of what you already own.
Should I need security for an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required before you can access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract) Asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K generally there is personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
