What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner uses the assets they have to get a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
