About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner uses an asset they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
