Asset-Based Lending Market Analysis

Asset-based lending is a large asset class that reaches across many different segments of the economy. The ongoing disintermediation of traditional bank financing and technological innovation has spurred rapid growth in recent years, and the trend is expected to continue. Traditional business financing, which evaluates a company's cash flow, is effective for many businesses. However, some companies may be eligible for additional borrowing based on their owned assets. This alternative approach, known as asset-based lending, is more suitable for them. Asset-based lending market solutions allow a wide range of assets, including accounts receivable, brand names, real estate, and intellectual property, to be used as collateral, providing access to vital capital. For businesses with substantial assets, asset-based lending offers significant financing options with a flexible structure that allows for future decision-making. Moreover, special arrangements like FILO (first in, last out) tranches can increase the borrowing capacity.

Asset-Based Lending

Industry Overview

  • Lenders favor highly liquid collateral, such as securities, which can converted to cash easily, for times when the borrower defaults on the payments. Loans against physical assets are deemed riskier, and hence, the maximum loan is often less than the book value of the assets.
  • There are wide variations in Interest rates, depending on the applicant's credit history, length of time doing business, and cash flow. The collateral-based cash flows that asset-based lending generates are also important in a time of high inflation and macroeconomic uncertainty. The underlying collateral has a tangible value, and the cash flows attached to that collateral are often contractual in nature.
  • Moreover, the replacement value of physical collateral tends to rise along with prices in the broader economy.

Asset-Based Lending Market Drivers and Opportunities

Private Asset-Based Lending to Drive the Asset-Based Lending Market Growth

  • The notable speed at which private asset-based lending surged in the outcome of the global financial crisis can be contemplated as a sign of the ongoing structural shift.
  • The disintermediation of traditional financial channels has been critical to the growth of private asset-based lending over the last few years. Post the financial crisis, several central banks of different developed nations bought mortgage-backed securities to inject liquidity into the market and restore confidence, while also raising reserve requirements and clamping down on risk-taking. It led to levying higher capital charges on non-mainstream lending.
  • The banks responded by lowering their loan books and extending credit to long-established customers on routine terms. It led to the non-availability of funding for several creditworthy consumers and, in turn, increased demand for private asset-based lending.
  • With the ongoing economic turmoil, the above-mentioned trend is anticipated to offer good opportunities for asset-based lending market growth.

Asset-Based Lending

Market Report Segmentation Analysis

  • Based on the interest rate, the market is bifurcated into a fixed rate and floating rate.
  • The fixed-rate segment achieved the highest asset-based lending market share in 2023. It can be attributed to fixed-rate loan's principal benefit of shielding the borrower against unexpected and possibly large increases in monthly payments during sudden spikes in interest rates. Furthermore, loans with fixed rates can be comprehended easily and showcase lesser variation between lenders.
