About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner makes use of an asset that they own to get the funding. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or an business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
