Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner utilises the assets they have to secure the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
