Asset-based finance (ABF) has a long history - dating back to the days of Babylon and ancient Rome when merchants sold goods on consignment.[1] Today, the industry is a sophisticated transactional business funding model, which has probably never been more widely adopted across continents, many of which are experiencing strong growth. However, the emergence of fintechs and new players with disruptive financing models is posing a challenge to traditional ABF lenders. To stay relevant and compete with this fresh wave of new competitors, the ABF sector needs to address a range of issues that will help it stay relevant and compete more effectively with new entrants to deliver the funding that growth businesses need.
