The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner utilises an asset they own to obtain the loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or a company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing using the value of what you already own.
