An asset-based loan is a secured business loan that can be less risky and have bigger benefits than unsecured loans, including potentially lower rates.

Since businesses an asset-based loan is secured through collateral, lenders base their funds on the value of the secured assets. The financing available may vary from lender to lender and depends on the type of collateral the business has.
