About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner borrows from the assets they have to make the funding. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or an company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets.

In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to secure a business loan?
