About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner uses assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset could 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 majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new funding making use of the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee.
