Many banks make the claim that business loan collateral is an “absolute must.” They say there is no grey area, no room for discussion, and no other option. Applicants either supply sufficient business loan collateral — which is often a mix of business and personal assets — or they don’t get a loan. End of story. However…
There’s actually much more to the story, because business loan collateral is only mandatory for BANK business loans. There are many other business loans available that don’t require any kind of collateral, such as:
Again, it bears repeating: none of the above require collateral, or even excellent credit. In fact, even a past discharged bankruptcy typically isn’t a deal-breaker, and businesses don’t have to be profitable or cash flow positive.
If business loan collateral is optional rather than mandatory, it begs the question: why do banks insist on it at all? Wouldn’t they serve more customers — and therefore make more profit — if they eliminated this requirement?
Even with their demands for business loan collateral, banks make an enormous amount of profit by going upstream and targeting large enterprises that have no problem pledging assets such as real estate, securities, and so on. As such, banks have zero incentive to change their restrictive lending policies.
