About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner borrows from an asset they own to obtain the funding. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Are I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money however, we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is a personal guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
