Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner utilises an asset they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or an business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender.
