What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner uses assets they own to make the loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it is means of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I require security to get an business loan?
