What is asset-based lending (abl)?
Asset-Based Lending (ABL): A revolving line of credit secured by receivables, inventory, and equipment.
How it works
ABL typically becomes an option once your borrowing needs cross roughly $1M–$2M and you have organized financials, monthly reporting, and a controller or CFO. It costs less than factoring but adds covenants, field exams, and borrowing-base reporting.
