Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner utilises an asset that they own to secure the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
