A Versatile Roster Addition

Feed the Pipeline

Breaking Free

When the OCC issued new guidance for asset-based lending (ABL) practices, we were ready. In fact, the guidelines aligned well with the risk management measures already in place throughout the storied history of BusinessManager and CADENCE. Key highlights:

• ABL activities should be supported by strong management information systems that can accurately compile and track information. Check.

• For lenders, ABL can be a profitable, well-secured, and low-risk line of business if strong controls are established. Check.

• Automated systems from third-party vendors should link the borrower’s financials with the FI. Check.
