Asset Based Lending in Baltimore: The Complete Guide
What Is Asset Based Lending?
Asset Based Lending (ABL) is a financing solution where the loan is secured by the borrower's assets. Unlike traditional loans that rely heavily on income verification and credit scores, ABL places greater emphasis on the value and liquidity of the assets being pledged as collateral. This makes it an attractive option for businesses with substantial assets but may face challenges in demonstrating consistent income or have lower credit scores. ABL allows businesses to unlock capital tied up in their assets for growth, acquisitions, or working capital.
Qualifying for Asset Based Lending
- •Underwritten on property income (DSCR) and borrower financial strength.
- •Typical DSCR requirement: 1.20x-1.25x (NOI / debt service).
- •2+ years business experience, adequate liquidity, acceptable credit.
- •CMRE commercial bank statement programs: qualify with 12-24 months statements instead of tax returns.
- •SBA programs (7(a), 504, Express) available for owner-occupied commercial with as low as 10% down.
Asset Based Lending vs. Residential Lending
- •Commercial: underwritten on property cash flow. Residential: on borrower income.
- •Commercial terms: 5-10 year terms with 25-30 year amortization.
