Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner utilises an asset that they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
