About business loans

The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner utilises an asset they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
