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.
Fast-growing companies that need money and have assets, such as property or
inventory, can take advantage of asset-based financing to instantly meet their
short-term cash needs. With the asset-based financing method, the company's
assets are used to secure the loan from a bank or a commercial finance company,
which then seizes the assets if the borrower defaults on the loan. Some
companies use business property while others use their inventories or accounts
receivables. If an inventory is used as the asset, the lender may require the
borrower to use an approved warehouse where inventories can be stored and
monitored by the lender. Akin to the "equity loan" concept that has
become so common today, asset-based financing is becoming the rave for businesses,
especially if their credit is less than perfect.
Asset based financing follows the general guidelines used in most secured,
conventional loans. However, the interest and fees associated with the loans
are typically higher than traditional bank loans. In recent years an increase
in the number of asset-based financing companies has caused the overall rates
to fall, which makes them even more desirable.
Advantages of Asset-Based Financing
From a business perspective, the main advantages of the asset-based financing
method is the speed at which large amounts of cash can be obtained, and the
fact that almost any asset owned by the company will suffice as collateral.
Those with less than perfect credit also benefit from not having their credit
worthiness based solely on their credit history.
