An asset-based loan is when the company owner borrows from the assets they have to secure the funding. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets.
