E-commerce lending (ABL+) is an asset-based loan in which the primary asset is inventory, often accompanied by direct-to-consumer proceeds, credit card sales and accounts receivable sold through online merchants and wholesale channels.
E-commerce Lending
E-commerce lending can be supplemental to an asset-based lending structure that provides advances on wholesale accounts receivable or equipment. Republic supports retail locations through our ABL+ approach as well.
Important Factors to Note:
E-commerce facilities typically require additional due diligence, pre-funding field exams, and third-party collateral appraisals.
Designed for established businesses with annual revenues in excess of $10,000,000.
