An asset-based loan is when the business owner utilises assets they own to get a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
