What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner uses an asset that they own to secure the loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or a business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.

For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money however, we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) Asset security is not required.
