Is The ABL Facility The Type Of Lending You Are Looking For In A Business Credit Line?

You’ve Got Probable Cause To Check Out Asset Based lines of Credit !

OVERVIEW – Information on the benefits of an ABL ( asset based line of credit ) commercial revolving line of credit in Canada . How this business lending has revolutionized business credit lines.





An ABL Facility? We checked and its true, you've got ' probable cause ' to check out a unique form of lending that competes with Canadian banks when it comes to a lending facility that you need to facilitate a business credit line . Let's explain!

When we're watching our favorite crime shows on TV these days (CSI Brampton, etc) we’re always been enamored by that term probable cause.
Simply speaking it’s a ' reasonable grounds for belief '. And that’s our point today when it comes to our suggestion that you check out thoroughly the ABL facility, more commonly known as the asset based line of credit.

It's simply an alternative to bank financing. Whereas banks place a tremendous amount of focus on you cash flow and all the balance sheet and income statement ratios that come with that the asset based loan focuses 99.99% on your assets - typically receivables, inventory, equipment, and even your company owned real estate if that’s applicable .

Our Canadian banks are so strong and well known for growth, profits and conservatism simply because they are regulated, and enforce very strict rules around how much capital they can lend out , guarantees, and our previously mentioned ' cash flow coverage ' for any debt you have with them or anyone else .

The benefit to all that - it’s pretty obvious - unlimited capital with great rates, for those that qualify.

What if though? What if you don't qualify for a Canadian chartered bank line of credit? Typically you find yourself in one of the following situations - you have high or volatile growth, you’re just out of the start up stage, and on any given day you seem to be using cash, not generating a lot of it!

All the reasons and facts that we're provided for you above simply enforce why asset based lending via the ' ABL ' is getting more popular, It focuses on the underlying assets you have and monetizes them into one single borrowing facility .

The asset based lender is typically what us finance folks refer to as a ' non bank, non regulated lender '. The connotation is of course that they can do whatever they want within their firms own borrowing guidelines based on their management experience. They are also focused daily on managing the risk of the asset based loan and line of credit facilities they have provided to your term. Typically that means you're reporting on your financials and assets in a more regular fashion, monthly for sure. Some of our clients view that as a negative - we explain they should consider that in our experience many firms that report and understand their financial progress more regularly... guess what... DO BETTER!

The somewhat not so secret in ABL facilities is that many Canadian banks recognized that this is indeed a viable way to lend - so they have set up small divisions in their banks to also consider asset based lines of credit. Boy, talk about being two faced! Just kidding of course, because no one has more respect for our Canadian banks than us.

Asset based lines of credit work because they provide a lot more liquidity also. Receivables are financed at 90%, inventory is financed at more generous levels once your ABL lending firm understands your business, and they even throw your fixed assets into your daily borrowing mix. That’s liquidity 101!

Have we proven your PROBABLE CAUSE? We think so, hope so, so seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can assist you with your business line of credit needs.
