How it Works

  • Asset-based financing is structured as a revolving line of credit, allowing companies to borrow as needed against accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, real estate and other assets.
  • The amount that can be borrowed depends on a percentage of the value of the collateral which typically ranges between 60% and 90% depending on the asset class. This percentage is known as the advance rate.
