An asset-based loan is when a business owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
