What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner uses assets they own to make the funding. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.

If you adhere to the loan terms (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed.
