About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner borrows from the assets they have to obtain a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or it could be a company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
