How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner uses an asset they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.

For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we require a personal guarantee. need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security is not required.
