About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner borrows from an asset that they own to secure a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or an company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
