About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner borrows from an asset they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
