Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner utilises the assets they have to secure the loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
