What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or an business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
