Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner borrows from an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or an business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already own.
