What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?

The vast majority of the lenders including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
