About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner uses an asset that they own to secure the funding. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already have.
