What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner uses an asset they own to secure a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or an business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.

In essence, it’s the process of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
