About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses an asset they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we require a personal guarantee. require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
