An asset-based loan is when an company owner uses assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to get a company loan?
