The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner uses an asset that they own to get the loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
Should I require security for an business loan?

For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
