A.Accounts Receivable - using A/R as collateral a bank may finance up to 80% of accounts receivable balance,can be factored (bank incurs risk of collection therefore more expensive)or unfactored (entrepreneur incurs risk of collection.
B.Inventory - Inventory is used as collateral.Usually,the finished goods inventory can be financed for up to 50 percent of its value.Trust receipts are a unique type of inventory loan used to finance floor plans of retailers,such as automobile and appliance dealers.In trust receipts,the bank advances a large percentage of the invoice price of the goods and is paid on a pro rata basis as the inventory is sold.
C.Equipment - Equipment can be used to secure longer-term financing,usually on a 3- to 10-year basis.When new equipment is being purchased or presently owned equipment is used as collateral,usually 50 to 80 percent of the value of the equipment can be financed depending on its salability.In the sale-leaseback arrangement,the entrepreneur "sells" the equipment to a lender and then leases it back for the life of the equipment to ensure its continued use.
D.Real estate - This mortgage financing is usually easily obtained to finance a company's land,plant,or another building,often up to 75 percent of its value.
