Commercial Loans

An commercial loans​ is a type of business financing that is secured by collateral, typically in the form of the borrower's assets. These assets can include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, real estate, or other tangible assets owned by the business. The loan amount is determined based on the value of the collateral, and lenders may advance funds up to a certain percentage of the collateral's appraised value. Asset-based loans are often used by businesses that have valuable assets but may not qualify for traditional loans due to factors such as limited credit history or fluctuating cash flow. These loans provide businesses with access to capital to fund operations, expansion, or other business initiatives while leveraging their assets as collateral to secure financing. Asset-based loans typically have higher interest rates and stricter terms compared to traditional loans because they carry more risk for lenders. However, they can be a valuable financing option for businesses looking to unlock the value of their assets and access the capital they need to grow and thrive.

Valuable Collateral

Lenders may require a professional appraisal or valuation of the collateral to determine its value and assess its suitability as security for the loan.

Minimum Revenue

There may be a minimum monthly revenue requirement for the business.

Financial Statements

Businesses may need to provide financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements, to demonstrate their financial health and ability to repay the loan.

Creditworthiness

While asset-based loans are secured by collateral, lenders may still consider the borrower's creditworthiness and financial stability when evaluating loan applications.

Business History

Lenders may prefer businesses with a track record of stable operations and revenue generation. Startups or businesses with limited operating history may face more stringent requirements or higher interest rates.

Loan Purpose

Lenders may inquire about the intended use of the loan proceeds to ensure that the funds will be used for legitimate business purposes that align with the borrower's financial goals and repayment ability.

Legal Documentation

Borrowers may need to provide legal documentation, such as business licenses, articles of incorporation, or ownership agreements, to verify the business's legitimacy and ownership.

It's essential to review the specific requirements of each lender offering asset-based loans and ensure that you meet their eligibility criteria before applying.
