About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner uses an asset that they own to get the loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the value of what you already have.
Are I need security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stipulated in the loan contract) Asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you can get personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
