About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner utilises the assets they have to make the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or an business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
