It lists security interests that are granted to individuals who own personal property (including items or assets).

What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner uses assets they own to obtain the funding. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security to get a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access However, we do require an individual guarantee.
