Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner utilises the assets they have to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or an business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset.
