Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner makes use of assets they own to secure the funding. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or an company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
