Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner makes use of assets they own to secure the funding. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
