What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner utilises an asset they own to make a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.

For loans up to $150K no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we require a personal guarantee. require an individual guarantee.
