Asset-Based Lines of Credit
Are you looking for the right formula for growth and profitability? An asset-based line of credit will allow your business to take advantage of growth opportunities and at the same time, relieve the pressure of meeting an "out-of-debt" period often required on traditional revolving lines of credit.
An Asset-Based Line works well for:
- Wholesalers and Distributors
- Manufacturers
- Businesses with cash tied up in receivables and inventory
Features and Benefits
- Access to a larger limit than a traditional line of credit
- Revolving based on accounts receivable and inventory balances
- Optional daily sweep arrangement reduces monthly interest costs
- No ”out of debt” period required
Requirements
- Minimum three (3) years in business
- Profitable operations
- American River Bank deposit relationship
