The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner makes use of assets they own to get the funding. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
