Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner uses the assets they have to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans over $150,000 generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
