Unlock capital with asset based lending for your printing and publishing assets

Asset based lending (ABL) allows you to release capital tied up in your business assets such as machinery, property, vehicles, and unpaid invoices to create a flexible source of working capital.

Instead of taking on new debt, you use existing assets as security, giving you access to the liquidity needed to manage production schedules, invest in technology, or fund large print runs without disruption.

How asset based lending supports the printing and publishing sector

In an industry where profit margins are tight and cash flow timing is critical, ABL offers a way to stabilise finances and grow sustainably. 

This approach helps you:

• Fund new contracts while waiting for client payments to clear.

• Upgrade printing machinery or invest in digital transformation projects.

• Balance cash flow during long production cycles or seasonal slowdowns.

• Reduce dependency on overdrafts or short-term borrowing.

• Strengthen supplier relationships by maintaining prompt payments.

When to use asset based lending

• Finance large production runs for key contracts.

• Upgrade or replace essential printing machinery.

• Invest in automation or sustainable print technology.

• Manage supplier payments during long client billing cycles

• Support new product launches or expand publishing lines.

Benefits of asset based lending for printing and publishing companies

• Immediate working capital: Access funds quickly by leveraging assets already on your balance sheet.

• Flexible funding: Facilities can grow alongside your turnover and asset base.

• Improved liquidity: Keep operations running smoothly even during slower payment periods.

• Funding for expansion: Use ABL to finance machinery upgrades, technology improvements, or acquisitions.

• Lower borrowing risk: Lending is secured against tangible assets, not personal guarantees.

How asset based lending works

1. We assess the value of your eligible assets such as printing presses, vehicles, stock, or receivables.
   
   
2. A revolving credit facility is established based on this value.
   
   
3. Draw funds as required to cover cash flow or growth projects.
   
   
4.  As asset values change, your borrowing capacity adjusts automatically.

This makes asset-based lending an adaptable, low-friction funding solution for asset-rich businesses like printers and publishers.
