Really impressed with Swoop. We were matched with grants and loans we didn’t even realise were available. Super easy to use and just really helpful overall. Very happy.

Swoop helped us find the right funding much more quickly and much more efficiently than going to banks ourselves. A surprisingly simple process and a super helpful team. Thoroughly recommended and will certainly use again.

I was referred here by a friend and now I see why. The service was quick, clear and genuinely helpful. What stood out most was how patient they were answering questions and walking through the options before we decided what to do. Everything was handled efficiently and the outcome was better than expected. Would definitely use them again.

Asset-based lending is a common way for businesses to improve their working capital if access to traditional financing is difficult.

As with all financial products, it is important to have all the information on how it works so that you can make the right decision for your business.

Why asset-based lending?

Better interest rates

Secured against the assets of your business which lessens the risk to the lender resulting in more favorable interest rates than an unsecured loan

More flexibility

The focus is on the quality of the asset to be secured and less on the credit rating of your business

Fewer covenants

There are typically fewer covenants with asset-based lenders as they focus more on the quality of the asset to be secured and less on the credit rating of the business

Types of asset-based lending

What can I use the funds for?

Industries taking advantage of asset-based lending

Manufacturing

Construction

Wholesalers

Transportation

Business services

Whether you are growing rapidly, have seasonal cash fluctuations or are looking to grow your business via new equipment or a new contract, asset-based lending is a good way to unlock the capital required

Different providers pay different rates. For certain lenders, we may have influence over the interest rate, which can impact the total amount payable under your agreement.
