Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner uses assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans over $150K generally, you are able to get personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
