Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner borrows from assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be sold by the lender.
