About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner uses assets they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be either an individual property, 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 taken over by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I need security to get a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required before you can access the money However, we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required.
