?Quick answer
Asset-based lending from RCR International Finance LLC is a revolving facility sized against a company's collateral, primarily accounts receivable and inventory, sometimes equipment and real estate. Availability moves with the value of those assets through a borrowing base, giving asset-rich companies more capacity than cash-flow lending alone, subject to underwriting and approval.
Asset-based lending (ABL) is a secured revolving structure where the amount you can draw is tied to the value of pledged collateral rather than to a fixed loan amount. A borrowing base, recalculated regularly, advances against eligible receivables and inventory so credit availability grows and contracts with the business. It suits companies with strong balance-sheet assets but uneven earnings.
