Secured Loan
A loan that is backed by collateral is known as a secured loan. The term 'secured' reflects the lender's position, which is protected from substantial financial risk. This security is contingent on the condition that the collateral can be sold for a value greater than the outstanding debt, ensuring the lender can recover their funds in the event of a default.
