The New York Institute of Credit & Financial Poise™ Air BUSINESS BORROWING BASICS - Asset- Based Lending, a Webinar, on February 21, at 2pm CST Through West LegalEdcenter
NEW YORK (PRWEB) February 13, 2018 -- Many companies, and most of any size, use borrowed funds as part of their capital structure. Depending on the nature of the business, its size, time in business, whether it has adequate collateral, and other factors, a business has myriad options when borrowing funds. This BUSINESS BORROWING BASICS 2018 Financial Poise webinar series provides a guided tour of the various borrowing options available to businesses, from both a business and legal perspective. Major topics covered include asset-based lending, P/O Finance, Factoring, Merchant Cash Advances, and Market Place Lending / Fintech. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of each, tricks of the trade when negotiating these arrangements, and more!
The second episode of the BUSINESS BORROWING BASICS 2018 series is Asset- Based Lending, premiering on February 21st at 2:00 PM CST (Register Here), and features Moderator Jonathan Friedland of Sugar Felsenthal Grais & Hammer. He is joined by Robert Miller of Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Paul Clinkscales of Aesir Media Group, and Mark Seigel of Veritas Financial Partners to discuss asset based loans.
An asset-based loan (ABL) is made by a lender who underwrites the loan primarily by valuing the company’s assets, such as accounts receivable (A/R) and inventory. An ABL lender can be distinguished from a “cash flow” lender in that while a cash flow lender secures its loan against the borrower’s assets, as does an ABL lender, the cash flow lender underwrites the loan based on the cashflow and general credit-worthiness of the borrower. An ABL lender, in contrast, looks primarily to the ability to liquidate its collateral should it need to, to be repaid. Since ABL lenders are willing to provide loans to companies with weaker financial performance, they are able to provide financing to companies who are not eligible for a cash flow loan. ABL lenders typically charge higher interest rates than cash flow lenders as a result of greater risk of non-performance. This webinar explains ABLs, explores its pros and cons, and discusses the basics of negotiating one.
