About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner borrows from the assets they have to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I need security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract) Asset security will never be needed.
