How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner utilises assets they own to secure the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or an business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, 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 could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
