The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner uses an asset that they own to obtain a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure an business loan?
