About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner uses an asset they own to secure the funding. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.

If you adhere to the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed.
