Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner uses the assets they have to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
