Fundamentals of Asset Based Lending

Monitoring and controlling collateral are critical to the asset-based lender to mitigate repayment risk. Collateral evaluation begins with a comprehensive field examination to determine value, followed by a continuing program of periodic examinations. The collateral and loan values are monitored continuously (daily/weekly/monthly) to ensure that the realizable value of the collateral is always sufficient to repay outstandings. This session will explain how the ABL policy and process must work to ensure the bank is repaid on time, in full, and as agreed.
