Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner makes use of assets they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
