The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner borrows from an asset that they own to make the loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in the loan contract), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is a personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
