Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner utilises the assets they have to obtain the funding. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
