About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner uses assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing making use of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required before you can access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
