Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses an asset they own to secure the funding. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
Are I require security for a business loan?

In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required.
