About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner borrows from an asset they own to make the loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.

For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access however, we do need the personal guarantee.
