About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner uses an asset that they own to secure the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or an business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.

For loans up to $150K no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access However, we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed.
