Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner utilises the assets they have to get the funding. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or a business asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
