About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner borrows from an asset they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, including the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new funding using the value of what you already have.
Are I need security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally, there is a personal ensure and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
