The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner makes use of an asset they own to secure the loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or an business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, not just 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 sold by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, there is personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
