About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner uses an asset they own to get a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing using the value of what you already have.
Should I require security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, you are able to get a personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
