About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner uses an asset that they own to get a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I need security for an business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money but we require a personal guarantee. need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract document), asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is an individual ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
