About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner uses an asset that they own to obtain a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to get a company loan?

So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans over $150,000 generally, there is personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
