An asset-based loan is when an company owner utilises an asset they own to get a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure additional financing using the value of what you already have.
