What Is It
What is asset-based lending?

Asset-based lending (ABL) is a revolving credit facility secured by a business's assets — typically accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The borrowing base (what you can draw) is calculated from those assets, so a growing business grows its facility automatically.

ABL is used by manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and service businesses with substantial balance-sheet assets. Facilities commonly run from $250,000 to $10 million and up. Through BidMyCapital you can compare ABL financing options from multiple lenders.

How It Works
How asset-based financing works
📈

Build the borrowing base

Receivables, inventory and equipment set your credit limit.

💳

Draw as assets grow

New inventory and invoices expand what you can borrow.

💵

Repay from collections

Cash from receivable collections repays the drawn balance.

Costs
Asset-based lending rates and fees

ABL is priced as floating-rate interest (typically prime + 2% to 5%) plus collateral monitoring and audit fees. Total effective costs often land below unsecured alternative lending for borrowers with solid assets.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is asset-based lending?

A revolving line of credit secured by your accounts receivable, inventory and equipment — your borrowing limit grows as your assets grow.

How is ABL different from invoice factoring?

ABL is a facility you draw from while you keep collecting your own receivables. Factoring sells invoices and the funder collects. ABL is usually cheaper and suits larger borrowers.

What assets can I borrow against?

Accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and sometimes real estate or IP, depending on the lender.

How much can I borrow with ABL?

Facilities typically start around $250,000 and can exceed $10 million, advancing 80% to 90% of receivables and 40% to 60% of inventory.

Is inventory financing the same as ABL?

Inventory financing is one component of asset-based lending — a loan or line secured specifically by inventory value.
