Who lends it and what they look for
Asset based lenders, bank ABL desks and private credit funds make revolving lines sized to your receivables, inventory and sometimes equipment rather than your earnings alone. They suit businesses with large working assets and uneven, fast growing or recovering profits. The lender sets a borrowing base with an advance rate for each asset class, then checks it often. Expect a field exam, an inventory appraisal, a receivables aging and monthly borrowing base reporting once the line is open.
