How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner uses an asset that they own to secure a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or a business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.

As long as you follow your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract), asset security is not needed.
