					  <link>http://www.articlebasement.com/articles/51724/1/Asset-Based-Financing/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Businesses without strong credit histories, such as small businesses and startup companies, have limited options when it comes to quickly generating the funds needed to maintain business operations. Bank financed loans are difficult to obtain, most investors require a guaranteed piece of the pie, and making money without spending money is often not an option. Fortunately, using the "take what you've got to get what you want approach", asset-based financing generates the funds a company needs in the short term.

					  <title><![CDATA[Disadvantages of Asset-Based Financing]]></title>
					  <link>http://www.articlebasement.com/articles/51725/1/Disadvantages-of-Asset-Based-Financing/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Asset-based financing should be entered into with extreme forethought, as the disadvantages, although small, can weigh heavy on a company that is already struggling financially. The most obvious disadvantage of asset-based financing is the fact that the interest rate is slightly higher than most traditional loans. For a company that needs cash fast, however, this is a small pill to swallow. The most damaging disadvantage to asset-based financing is the fact that the financing is based on a company's current assets, and gives no consideration to what might negatively happen to the company in the future. For example, a company whose assets are worth $1000 today will still be repaying the same loan amount in 3 years even if their assets are only worth $600. This can cause a tight squeeze, increasing costs and cutting into already reduced profits.]]></description>
