Asset-Based Lending (ABL) is a financing solution where businesses use their assets as collateral to secure loans. Assets such as accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, or real estate are leveraged to obtain working capital. This flexible funding method is ideal for businesses needing cash flow to grow, manage operations, or navigate financial challenges.
In Asset-Based Lending, lenders assess the value of the borrower’s assets to determine the eligibility for loans. A percentage of the appraised value of the asset is the loan amount, usually ranging between 50% and 85%. For instance, accounts receivable can secure around up to 85% of their value, while inventory or equipment may secure less.
The loan size varies with the performance of the asset, making it a dynamic funding option. Businesses pay back the loan as they liquidate assets, such as receivables, into cash. The cycle involves:
