About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner utilises assets they own to secure a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
