The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner utilises the assets they have to obtain a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
