An asset-based loan is when the business owner uses an asset they own to make the loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.

In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stated in the loan contract), asset security is not needed.
