Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner utilises assets they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
