An asset-based loan is when the company owner utilises assets they own to make a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
