About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner utilises an asset that they own to get a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
