About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain the loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
