Entrepreneur Startup Finance
Funding is given against the assets. It includes fixed and tangible assets like land, buildings, machinery, etc. Lower interest rates as compared to collateral-free loans. More flexible tenures and repayment options than regular loans.
Collateralized business loans are simply term loans with regular, periodic payments of both principal and interest that, within a defined time frame, retires the debt. The term of the loan is usually based on the "life" of the asset backing the loan. A loan backed by real estate can have a longer term than a loan backed by a piece of equipment that depreciates in value each year.
