About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner borrows from an asset they own to secure a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already have.
