An asset-based loan is when an company owner borrows from an asset they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.

If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing using the value of what you already own.
