About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner uses assets they own to secure the funding. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security for an company loan?
