About business loans

The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner makes use of the assets they have to secure the funding. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money however, we do need a personal guarantee.
