Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner makes use of an asset that they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to get an company loan?
