The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner utilises the assets they have to get a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new funding using the value of what you already own.
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
