Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner makes use of assets they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or an company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
Are I need security for a company loan?

So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required.
