Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner uses the assets they have to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing additional financing using the value of what you already have.
