What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner utilises assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be a personal asset like 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 make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.

As long as you follow the loan terms (as stipulated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed.
