About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner borrows from an asset they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to get a company loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money However, we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, you are able to get a personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
