Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner makes use of assets they own to secure the funding. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.

For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required upfront to access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
