About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner borrows from an asset that they own to get the funding. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, 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 sold by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to secure an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do require a personal guarantee.
