About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner utilises the assets they have to get a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
