The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner uses an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
