What is asset-based borrowing (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 can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
