Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner makes use of an asset they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or it could be a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing using the value of what you already own.
