What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner uses the assets they have to make the funding. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already have.

If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stated in the loan contract) Asset security is not required.
