Financing supported by qualifying assets
Asset-Based Financing
Commercial financing may be structured around eligible receivables, inventory, equipment, or other assets.
What it is
Understand the structure before comparing a provider's actual offer.
Asset-based providers may use appraisals, borrowing bases, liens, monitoring, and covenants to determine availability. The eligible asset pool and ongoing reporting requirements vary.
There is no single universal percentage, APR, or fee that applies to every business shown on this website. When the underlying provider publishes a general cost description rather than a fixed percentage, we use that description instead of inventing a rate.
Asset-based financing uses eligible business assets, such as accounts receivable, inventory, or equipment, to support a commercial credit facility.
A provider may establish a borrowing base based on eligible assets and can require periodic reporting, appraisals, inspections, or field audits.
Availability may change as the value and eligibility of the collateral pool changes over time.

Example in practice
How a business might use this structure.
A distributor with substantial eligible receivables and inventory may use an asset-based facility to support growth that exceeds the capacity of a smaller unsecured product. Availability can rise or fall with the collateral borrowing base.
What providers may consider
The underwriting conversation varies by applicant.
Asset-based providers can examine receivable aging, customer concentration, inventory quality, equipment value, existing liens, financial statements, reporting systems, and the company's ability to comply with borrowing-base and covenant requirements.
Before accepting financing
Compare more than the approved amount.
Commercial financing can use different pricing and payment mechanics. Read the provider's written documents as a complete package.
Review lien priority, borrowing-base definitions, reserves, reporting covenants, and audit costs.
Understand events that can reduce availability or trigger default.
Compare interest, unused-line charges, monitoring fees, and closing costs.
