About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner uses the assets they have to secure a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or an business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money however, we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans of over $150K generally there is personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
