Question 4

What is asset-based lending (ABL)?

Accepted Answer

Asset-based lending is a form of business financing secured primarily by company assets. Eligible collateral may include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, or other business assets.ABL can be particularly useful for companies with substantial assets or receivables that need additional liquidity to support operations and growth.

Question 5

What is accounts receivable financing?

Accepted Answer

Accounts receivable financing allows a business to obtain funding based on eligible unpaid customer invoices.Instead of waiting for customers to pay according to their normal payment terms, a company may use its receivables to access liquidity sooner. This can help improve cash flow and provide additional working capital.

Question 6

What is factoring?

Accepted Answer

Factoring is a financing arrangement in which a business sells eligible accounts receivable to a factoring company in exchange for immediate liquidity.Factoring can be useful for growing businesses, companies with long customer payment cycles, and businesses that need working capital but may not qualify for conventional bank financing.

Question 7

What is the difference between factoring and asset-based lending?

Accepted Answer

Both solutions can use accounts receivable to support financing, but their structures are different.Factoring generally involves the purchase of eligible invoices by a factoring company. Asset-based lending typically provides a revolving credit facility secured by eligible assets, such as accounts receivable and inventory.The appropriate structure depends on the company’s size, financial profile, customers, assets, and financing requirements.

Question 8

Can a business get financing after being declined by a bank?

Accepted Answer

Potentially. A bank decline does not necessarily mean that a business has no financing options.Alternative lenders may evaluate businesses differently and may place greater emphasis on accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, contracts, or other assets. Lirodean can evaluate the reason for the decline and determine whether another financing structure may be more appropriate.

Question 9

What financing options are available for construction companies?

Accepted Answer

Construction and renovation companies may have access to several financing structures depending on their financial profile, contracts, accounts receivable, project pipeline, and working capital requirements.Potential solutions may include business lines of credit, working capital facilities, accounts receivable financing, asset-based lending, equipment financing, and other specialized financing structures.

Question 10

Can I get financing based on my company’s accounts receivable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, qualifying businesses may be able to use eligible accounts receivable as collateral for financing.The amount available generally depends on factors such as the quality of the receivables, customer creditworthiness, concentration, aging, payment history, and lender eligibility requirements.

Question 11

Can inventory be used to obtain business financing?

Accepted Answer

In certain asset-based lending structures, eligible inventory may be included as part of the borrowing base.Lenders typically evaluate the type of inventory, its marketability, turnover, location, and liquidation value when determining how much credit they are willing to provide against it.

Question 12

Does Lirodean help with equipment financing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lirodean can help businesses explore financing for the acquisition of equipment and other business assets.Depending on the transaction, financing may be structured as an equipment loan, lease, or another form of equipment financing.

Accepted Answer

Requirements vary by lender and financing type, but businesses are commonly asked to provide financial statements, tax returns, recent bank statements, accounts receivable and accounts payable aging reports, debt schedules, ownership information, and details about the requested financing.Asset-based transactions may require additional information about receivables, inventory, equipment, or other collateral.

Question 16

How much business financing can my company qualify for?

Accepted Answer

There is no single financing limit that applies to every company.

Question 17

How long does it take to obtain business financing?

The right financing solution depends on why you need the capital, how much you need, how quickly you need it, your company’s financial performance, and the assets available to support the financing.For example, a company with significant accounts receivable may benefit from an ABL or receivables-based facility, while a company purchasing machinery may be better suited to equipment financing.

Question 22

Why work with a business financing broker instead of approaching one lender?

Accepted Answer

Different lenders have different credit policies, industries, collateral requirements, transaction sizes, and risk tolerances.Working with a financing broker can help a business evaluate multiple potential financing sources rather than relying on the criteria of a single lender.
