About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner borrows from the assets they have to obtain a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing by using the value of what you already own.
Do I need security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access, however we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract document) Asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
