An asset-based loan is when the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to secure the loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
