About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner uses the assets they have to secure the funding. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) Asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is a personal guarantee and security in the form charges on assets.
