What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner utilises assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or an business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
