The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner uses the assets they have to get the funding. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required before you can access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
