About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner uses an asset that they own to secure the funding. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security for a business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans no asset security is required upfront to access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, you can get a personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
