About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner makes use of an asset they own to secure a loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
Should I require security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $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 detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
