About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner borrows from an asset they own to make the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or a company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security for an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need personal guarantee and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
