Whether you're looking to grow your business, manage cash flow, invest in new opportunities, or navigate challenging economic conditions, asset-based lending (ABL) provides the access to finance with agility required to succeed.

ABL offers a powerful way to leverage your existing assets, such as receivables, inventory, equipment, and property, to secure the funding necessary for growth, expansion or managing market conditions.

We understand the complexities and opportunities that come with asset-based lending. Our team works closely with high street banks, specialist banks, peer to peer lenders, independent funders as well as corporate borrowers to tailor ABL solutions that align with their specific business goals.

We provide comprehensive support throughout the entire process, from transaction structuring, preparation and negotiation of term sheets, negotiating facility documentation, security structures, reviewing underlying debtor and supplier contracts and negotiating inter-creditor arrangements.

The team also specialises in drafting precedent form funding and security documentation for the ABL market, including ABL, off balance sheet, back to back and supply chain arrangements.
