Asset-Based Lending (ABL) for Lighting & Electrical Fixtures shops
Borrow against what you already own. Our team looks for a funding partner with a asset-based lending (abl) structure that fits how you actually run. No equity given up, and no application, origination, or closing fees to you.
Why lighting & electrical fixtures shops choose asset-based lending (abl)
You don't sell lighting fixtures off a shelf — you sell into a spec. An engineer or architect writes your product into a project, a distributor or electrical contractor places the order, and then everyone waits on the construction schedule, the utility rebate paperwork, and the general contractor's own payment chain before your invoice gets touched.
Meanwhile you've already carried the cost of UL and DLC listing renewals, built inventory ahead of a bid award, and maybe fronted engineering time on a custom architectural fixture that only pays off if the project actually breaks ground on schedule. Projects slip, rebate approvals lag, and your receivables age while your components and labor are long since paid for.
Asset-Based Lending (ABL) is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Revolving lines secured by receivables, inventory, and equipment.

It depends on the program. Factoring often funds within days of account setup; equipment and working capital usually run days to a couple of weeks; SBA and larger term loans take longer. We tell you the real timeline up front.
No. We are an independent business financing referral service and are not paid by you. In most states, funding partners pay us when an account funds or activates; in California and Missouri they instead pay a fixed fee per inquiry, whether or not you are funded. Either way, you pay us nothing.
No. Every program we refer is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.
Yes. Factoring and ABL facilities regularly advance against invoices where part of the payment depends on a utility or government rebate clearing, though lenders will look at the specific program's track record for approval timing.
PO financing is well suited to this since it funds the components, materials, and labor for a specific, confirmed order before you invoice, which matters for custom runs that require upfront engineering and tooling.
ABL is a revolving line you draw against; factoring is the outright sale of specific invoices. ABL usually has lower cost of capital but stricter eligibility and monthly reporting requirements.
