About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner borrows from the assets they have to make the loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
