Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner utilises an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders including the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
