What Is Asset-Based Lending?

Asset-based lending lets your business borrow against the value of what it already owns — accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and commercial real estate — instead of qualifying on credit score alone. Lenders set a borrowing base from your eligible collateral and advance funds against it, so the financing grows alongside your assets. It is a practical fit for manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and other companies with strong balance sheets that need working capital faster than a conventional loan can deliver.

If your cash is mostly tied up in unpaid invoices, invoice factoring can convert receivables into immediate funds, while broader needs may be served by a working capital facility or equipment financing. Qualification centers on the quality and marketability of your collateral and overall business performance, with rates and advance rates that vary by asset type. Use our loan calculator to estimate payments before you apply.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Asset-based lending (ABL) is a type of business financing where the loan is secured by your company's assets, such as accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, or real estate. The borrowing amount is determined by the value of the pledged collateral rather than solely on creditworthiness.

Common collateral for asset-based loans includes accounts receivable (typically 80-90% advance rate), inventory (50-70% advance rate), equipment and machinery, and commercial real estate. The advance rate depends on the asset type and quality.

Asset-based loan amounts typically range from $500K to $50M+, depending on the value of your eligible collateral. Loan-to-value ratios can be up to 85% of eligible asset value.

Unlike traditional loans that rely heavily on credit scores and financial history, asset-based lending focuses primarily on the value and quality of your collateral. This makes ABL an excellent option for businesses with strong assets but less-than-perfect credit or limited operating history.

Qualification centers on the strength of your collateral and business performance. General guidelines include roughly $1M in annual revenue (this varies by program), at least 12 months in operation, acceptable asset quality and aging, basic financial reporting, and adequate insurance on the pledged assets. Credit history matters less than the value and marketability of your assets.

Most asset-based loans fund in about 7 to 14 days. The timeline reflects the collateral evaluation, financial review, and field examination involved in setting your borrowing base. Having clean accounts receivable aging, inventory reports, and current financials ready up front is the best way to keep the process moving quickly.

Asset-based lending provides a revolving credit line secured by a mix of assets like receivables, inventory, and equipment, and you keep ownership of those assets. Factoring specifically sells your invoices for upfront cash. ABL usually suits larger businesses with diverse collateral wanting ongoing access, while factoring fits companies that mainly need to convert invoices quickly.

Often yes. Because asset-based lending is secured by collateral, lenders focus on the value and quality of your assets rather than relying heavily on credit scores. Businesses with strong receivables, inventory, or equipment but a limited or imperfect credit history can still qualify, with rates and advance rates varying by asset type and risk profile.
