What is asset-based lending?
Asset-based loans are secured by company assets such as eligible accounts receivable, inventory, real estate or equipment. Asset-based lending is a viable source of capital for businesses unable to qualify for traditional bank financing.
How does asset-based lending differ from traditional bank financing?
Asset-based lending analyzes the quality and performance of the underlying collateral and then considers the borrower’s financial condition, ownership/management, and overall business circumstances. Traditional bank financing is based on anticipated cash flow and often requires more stringent financial requirements and loan covenants from the borrower.

How can asset-based loans be used?
Our asset-based lending solutions are used by companies that are experiencing rapid growth, high leverage, turnaround or bankruptcy, operating losses (pre-profit), minimal or deficit net worth, tax problems or a blemished credit history. Asset-based loans can be earmarked for working capital, to fund a merger and acquisition, to address debt consolidation and many other financial situations.
What is a hard money real estate loan?
Hard money real estate loans are most common in the United States and Canada and refer to money a borrower receives secured by real estate. Most hard money real estate loans are used for a borrowing need lasting from six months to a few years.
What is Debtor-in-Possession (DIP) financing?
DIP financing is offered to a company going through the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process to provide a fresh financial start, under strict conditions. This debt typically takes precedence over all other debt, equity and other company-issued securities.
