How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner utilises an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or an company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
