The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner makes use of assets they own to get a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
