How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner uses assets they own to make a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.

For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money however, we do require the personal guarantee.
