About business loans

What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?

Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner uses an asset that they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.

The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset.

As long as you follow the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract) Asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need an individual ensure and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
