About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner makes use of assets they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a business asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security for a company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
