About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to secure the funding. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders including the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security to secure an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we require a personal guarantee. require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required.
