About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner makes use of the assets they have to make the funding. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money however, we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
