About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to secure the loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or an business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I need security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access However, we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need personal ensure and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
