An asset-based loan is when a business owner utilises an asset they own to make the loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
