Asset-based lending (often referred to as “ABL”) is a form of commercial lending designed to finance safely the working capital needs of a borrower whose cash flow currently may not support debt repayment. Like other commercial loans, cash flow is the primary repayment source for an asset-based loan but with stronger reliance on the company's assets as collateral and firmer control over the receipts of the collateral’s liquidation.

 Collateral typically available to secure the asset-based loan includes accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, general and specific intangibles, real estate, and other assets. Because working capital support is the primary objective of most asset-based loan facilities, accounts receivable and inventory generally are the bank's core collateral. Personal guaranties, often secured, can be taken.

Basics of Asset-Based Lending

Good leaders walk the talk, but they also “write right”. They know how to say in a few words what needs to be said in crisp, clear language. The road to bad communication is paved with good intentions but poor construction. Readers know when subjects and verbs don’t agree, when punctuation misses the point, when words don’t fit, and content is confusing. In this session, learn how a few basic rules on grammar, punctuation, and usage can improve business written communications with clearer, more succinct content.
