About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses an asset they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing making use of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to get an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required upfront to access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
