About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner uses the assets they have to make the funding. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans over $150,000 generally there is an individual guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
