About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I need security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150K generally, you are able to get an individual ensure and security in the form the charge of assets.
