The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner uses the assets they have to secure a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or an business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
