About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner uses an asset they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
