Asset-based lending Canada

ASSET-BASED
LENDING.

Some businesses are worth more than their cash flow suggests on paper: a strong receivables ledger, deep inventory, capable equipment. Asset-based lending looks at those assets — not just the bank balance — as the foundation for financing.

WHEN THE ASSETS ARE STRONG — BUT THE CASH ISN'T.

Traditional lending often leans on a narrow view of a business: credit history, tidy financials, collateral the lender prefers. Businesses with real commercial assets — receivables, inventory, equipment — can find that view leaves their actual strength invisible.

Asset-based lending approaches the question differently: what eligible assets does the business hold, and what financing might they reasonably support?

Assets that may support financing

WHAT ASSET-BASED LENDING CAN BE BUILT ON.

Accounts Receivable

Money customers already owe — often the strongest asset class.

Inventory

Salable stock that holds value on the shelf.

Equipment

Machinery and vehicles with real market value.

Other Commercial Assets

Additional business assets considered in the review.

Growth Capital

Funding the next stage based on total asset strength.

Working Capital

Operating cash backed by the assets behind the operation.

Honest expectations

NOT EVERY BUSINESS — OR EVERY ASSET — QUALIFIES.

Which assets are eligible, and how much financing they can support, depends on the provider's review of the assets and the business. BizFin.ca helps you explore whether an asset-based structure may be relevant — with an accurate picture, not a promise.
