Asset based lending
involves using secured business loans in which the borrower pledges
any assets used in the conduct of the business as collateral. It is
also called commercial finance or asset-based funding.
In the simplest meaning, asset-based lending is any kind of
lending secured by an asset; so if the loan is not repaid the asset
is thereby taken. It's a form of business loan where the borrower pledges
collateral, such as account receivable, equipment and inventory, to
a source of quick finance.
Asset based lending
offers a number of advantages to businesses. Compared to most loans,
they get a quicker access to large amounts of ready cash. Most asset
based lenders and factors also frequently offer other valuable associated
services such as accounts-receivable processing, invoicing, and collection.
A properly managed
accounts receivable process can speed up cash flow considerably and
transform the health of a business leading to increased working capital
and the ability to invest in new resources very quickly. As a result,
there are fewer bad debt write-offs, and also greater profitability.
