About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner makes use of an asset that they own to make the funding. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract) Asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is an individual guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
