It reflects security interests which are registered with respect to personal property (including goods or assets).

Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner makes use of the assets they have to make the funding. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets.
