About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner makes use of the assets they have to make the loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or an business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure an business loan?
