About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner uses an asset that they own to secure a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I require security for a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access However, we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans of over $150K generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
