What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner uses an asset that they own to get the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or it could be a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.

For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract document) Asset security is not needed.
