About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner makes use of the assets they have to get the loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money, however we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not needed. For loans over $150,000 generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
