About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner utilises an asset that they own to secure the funding. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.

If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is personal guarantee and security in the form charges on assets.
