About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner borrows from assets they own to secure the funding. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.

For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access however, we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans over $150,000 generally, there is a personal guarantee and security that is in the form charges on assets.
