In short
This is a legal document formalizing your pledge of specific assets as security for a loan. If you default, the lender can seize these assets to recover their money.
In an SBA 7(a) loan, all available business and personal assets are typically pledged as collateral. Review this agreement carefully to understand which assets are secured and what happens in case of default or liquidation.
