About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner borrows from assets they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your asset may 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.
What do I require security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access However, we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be required. For loans over $150K typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form charges on assets.
