There are many situations in which your company may need funding. Maybe you’re looking to expand your business, open up a new location or invest in a new project. Maybe you need new equipment or training for employees. Maybe you’re anticipating a slow season and want to be financially prepared for lower revenue. Whatever the case, asset-based lending can be a great way for you to get the money that you need. There are several reasons why this might be a better option than a traditional loan.

1. It Can Be Easier to Get
Asset-based lending uses collateral to secure your loan. When you are using collateral, it is less risky for a lender to provide you with funding. Because of this, aspects that might have otherwise kept you from being approved for a loan, such as limited credit history, might not be as important.
2. They May Cost Less Over Time
Because you are providing collateral, some terms of your loan might be more favorable than they would be if you had gotten a traditional loan. With this kind of lending, interest rates are often lower. This means that you will end up spending less to pay back your loan than you would with another kind of funding.
3. The Money Can Be Used Where You Need It
You might think that, when you get a loan, you can spend it however you like, but this isn’t always the case. Depending on the type of funding you get, there might be some restrictions on how you can use it. Asset-based loans are generally more flexible, allowing you to use them in a variety of different ways as long as it is for your business.

4. You Can Get Funding More Quickly
Applications for traditional loans can often take a while to be approved. There are larger amounts of paperwork and stricter requirements, so the application process can be lengthy. Even if you are approved for a loan, it can still take months to receive the money. An asset-based loan, on the other hand, can be approved much more quickly.
If you are having trouble qualifying for a traditional loan, then asset-based lending is an option you may want to consider. It can be easier to get than other types of funding and comes with additional benefits, like flexibility and lower interest rates. Different lenders will have varying requirements, so look into your options to determine if it is a good fit for your business.
