How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner uses assets they own to secure the loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
