How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner uses assets they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset.
