About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner makes use of assets they own to obtain the funding. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract document) Asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
