What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner borrows from an asset that they own to make the funding. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
