Asset Based Lending

In the Private Wealth market, asset-based lending doesn’t always refer to taking a charge over business assets as collateral. Rather, it reflects a strategy where ultra-high-net-worth clients who may be asset rich, but lacking in cash flow, provide a strategy to the bank around how they will meet repayments.

The client also advises what their options are to liquidate assets, if needed, to service debt obligations.

This can be a complex process to negotiate with the banks, as each bank may have different expectations, and some banks are not willing to consider an asset-based lending strategy at all.

Riverside Finance Partners have deep experience in this space and can assist high net worth clients in the end-to-end process to secure funding in these circumstances.
