About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner uses an asset that they own to get the funding. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by using the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to get a business loan?
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. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract document) Asset security is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you can get an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
