About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses assets they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by using the value of what you already have.

In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need personal guarantee and security in the form the charge of assets.
