How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner makes use of assets they own to get the funding. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to secure 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’s means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
