About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner uses assets they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to get a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150K generally, you can get personal guarantee and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
