About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner uses the assets they have to make the funding. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or an company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.

For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money however, we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required.
