Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner utilises assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or a business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
Are I require security to get a company loan?
