About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner borrows from the assets they have to make the loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to get an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. For loans over $150K generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form the charge of assets.
