What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner uses an asset that they own to get the loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
