What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner utilises the assets they have to get the funds for a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing by using the value of what you already own.
