About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner makes use of an asset they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, you can get an individual guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
