About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner uses an asset that they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.

For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we require a personal guarantee. need an individual guarantee.
