Asset-based financing: Unlocking liquidity without increasing leverage

How mid-market companies and private equity portfolio firms are accessing alternative funding sources

Despite declining interest rates, bank lending remains selective. As a result, mid-market companies and private equity portfolio businesses are increasingly turning to asset-based financing (ABF) and Sale-&-Leaseback (SLB) structures to fund growth initiatives independently of traditional credit facilities.

In this edition of Oaklins’ Debt Advisory Insight, we highlight how structured SLB transactions can convert up to 100% of the market value of real estate or production assets into immediate liquidity — in a tax-efficient manner and without operational disruption.
