An asset-based loan is when an company owner uses assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
