About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner uses assets they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I need security for a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required upfront to access the money however, we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you are able to get a personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
