Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner utilises the assets they have to get a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
