What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner borrows from an asset they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or an business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
