About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner borrows from an asset they own to secure the loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to get a business loan?

So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security will never be required.
