About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner uses an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or an business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it is means of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to get an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, you are able to get the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
