Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner borrows from assets they own to make the loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
Up to $150K in loans it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need a personal ensure and security in the form an asset charge.
