The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner makes use of an asset they own to obtain a loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a company property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
