About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner uses an asset they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money however, we do require a personal guarantee.
