How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner utilises the assets they have to make a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.

For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we require a personal guarantee. need a personal guarantee.
