About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner borrows from the assets they have to make a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or an company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset.

In essence it’s means of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
