About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner uses an asset they own to get the funding. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or an company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I require security to get a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access however, we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
