About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner uses assets they own to secure the loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or an business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security to secure a business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds However, we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is a personal ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
