Business Finance Challenges ? Now What ? Asset Based Finance Comes To The Rescue

OVERVIEW – Information on asset based finance solutions in the Canadian financing landscape. Do these business loans make search for your company ?

Asset based finance has the ability to remove many of the challenges faced by business owners and financial mgrs in Canada. Let's dig in.

Most top experts in Canadian business financing consider asset based lending a different form of funding your company - the other end of the spectrum being traditional bank financing. How is it different? Simply because the entire focus is pretty well on specific assets that essentially give you big time borrowing power against 4 asset categories , either one of those or in combination.

The asset categories?

A/R
Inventory
Fixed assets/equipt
Real estate

Depending on what business and industry your firm is in you're either top heavy in one or more of those categories, or perhaps not at all.

What then is the key benefit to asset based finance business loans and financing solutions? To put it simply:

FASTER ACCESS TO CASH!

Traditional financing forces you to address key issues such as what your balance sheet looks like, as well as focusing on historical, present and future cash flow/projections. Your company may not necessarily have what it takes there, or in some cases you're newer in business or even a start up.

A lot of companies that utilize asset based ' ABL ' lending solutions in Canada have a lot of seasonality or ' bulges' in their business cash flow needs. The ability to therefore rely on your ongoing asset base really helps smooth out those bulges!

While personal guarantees are almost always an issue for the business owner we can say that this type of guarantee, considered ' valuable ' or a ' must ' in banking circles has much smaller, or no emphasis in asset based lending . Additionally true asset based finance deals are pure asset monetization.

1. They bring no term debt to the balance sheet
2. There is no equity give up

We do need to mention though that while some consider ABL cash flow solutions as their ' holy grail ' in business cash flow financing you must be able to properly report on assets or be willing to go thru some form of appraisal process when it comes to adding inventories, fixed assets, or real estate to your credit line borrowing mix . From the commercial non bank lenders perspective they are relying heavily on the true marketability of your company asset base
