Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner uses an asset they own to secure the funding. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security for an business loan?
