Borrow against your balance sheet

Asset-Based Lending

Credit lines and loans secured by receivables, inventory, or equipment you already own.

Asset-based lending sizes your credit to the value of what you already own — receivables, inventory, or equipment — rather than relying only on cash-flow history. It suits established businesses with real assets on the balance sheet but revenue or credit that doesn't fit a conventional term loan as cleanly.

Asset-Based Lending questions

How is this different from invoice factoring?

Factoring sells individual invoices; asset-based lending is a broader credit facility sized to your full asset base and can include inventory or equipment, not just receivables.

Do I need excellent credit?

No — because the assets secure the loan, ABL is often accessible to businesses whose credit or history wouldn't qualify for a conventional term loan at the same size.

What counts as an eligible asset?

Most commonly accounts receivable and inventory, sometimes equipment. Your advisor reviews what you have and what it can support.
