What Is Asset Based Lending?

Le crédit-bail vous permet secured revolving credit facility backed by your company’s receivables, inventory, and equipment. It allows you to borrow against the value of tangible business assets — instead of relying solely on credit scores or financial statements.

When traditional banks tighten lending criteria, ABL gives you reliable access to working capital. It’s a proven funding structure used by thousands of mid-market and SME companies across Canada to finance growth, manage cash flow, or weather slow-paying customer cycles.

Industry Insight:
  • Paiements mensuels moins élevés9.4% year-over-year (2024), reaching nearly $6.7 billion in active facilities (Source: Equifax Commercial Lending Data).
  • Pas de coûts initiaux massifs35% of Canadian manufacturers now use ABL as a primary financing tool.
  • Option de mise à niveau, de retour ou d'achat à la fin du bail$250K–$5M, but micro-ABL programs (as low as $100K) are rapidly expanding through fintech lenders.

Asset Based Lending Benefits

1. Access More Capital
Traditional lenders cap loan size based on profitability or net income. ABL focuses on asset value — often providing 25–50% higher borrowing capacity than unsecured loans.

2. Keep Cash Flow Stable
Borrow against receivables, inventory, or owned equipment to cover payroll, raw materials, or supplier payments — all while keeping operations uninterrupted.

3. Grow Without Equity Dilution
Unlike investors or venture funding, ABL helps you scale using your own assets, letting you retain 100% ownership of your company.

4. Flexible Revolving Structure
Draw and repay as needed. As your receivables and inventory grow, your borrowing limit automatically expands.

5. Better Terms for Asset-Heavy Businesses
Construction, manufacturing, logistics, and distribution firms can secure lower rates by leveraging strong balance-sheet assets.

FAQ: Got Questions? We’re Straightforward.

What types of assets can I borrow against?

You can leverage accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment. Most ABL lenders allow mixed collateral for higher facility limits.

How is an ABL different from a term loan or line of credit?

A term loan has fixed payments; ABL is revolving. It grows with your assets, providing ongoing working capital instead of a one-time lump sum.

How much can I borrow through an asset-based loan?

Most Canadian SMEs qualify for $100K–$5M, depending on the liquidation value of their assets and customer payment history.

Is ABL only for large corporations?

Not anymore. With the rise of fintech and private lenders, small and mid-sized companies now dominate Canada’s ABL market — especially in transportation, construction, and wholesale trade.

Can I use ABL for refinancing or consolidation?

Yes. For qualified applicants, we structure deals with low or $0 down payments based on credit strength, asset type, and lender policies. This helps preserve working capital while accessing critical equipment.

What industries qualify for ABL in Canada?

Manufacturing, logistics, construction, agriculture, retail distribution, and even professional services can use asset-based lending if they maintain receivables or equipment assets.

How long does approval take?

Once documentation is submitted, approvals typically occur within 24–72 hours. For larger facilities, final underwriting may take up to one week.
