About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner uses the assets they have to make the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a company property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money However, we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form an asset charge.
