What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner makes use of the assets they have to get the loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
Are I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee.

For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
