About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner uses the assets they have to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
What do I require security to get a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, you are able to get the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form charges on assets.
