Cashflow vs Asset-Based Lending

In the last five years or so, I have noticed a strong bias toward cashflow-based lending, or at least the cashflow analysis of guarantors even when the loan itself is asset-based.

This is true even if the main strength of the guarantor is their personal balance sheet and net worth.

For a quick explanation of the difference between asset-based and
cashflow-based loans, and some interesting hybrids, read this article on
Asset-based loans can offer attractive financing option.
