Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner utilises assets they own to make a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or an company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, including the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Are I need security to get a company loan?
