The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner utilises the assets they have to make the funds for a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is the process of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
