How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner uses assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
