What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner uses assets they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by using the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money but we require a personal guarantee. need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security will never be required.
