Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner makes use of assets they own to secure the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already own.

Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money, however we do need the personal guarantee.
