What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner borrows from assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing using the value of what you already own.

So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed.
