Due diligence and risk management for asset-based lending 

What we do

Our asset-based lending advisory services offer both pre and post lend due diligence and risk management, specialising in receivables, inventory, plant and machinery, and trade finance across all funding levels.

We have a proven track record in assessing complex, high-value, and high-risk asset-based lending deal structures. Our experience and the expertise allow us to identify the key risk areas in both collateral and systems, and to add value by providing mitigating solutions enabling you to successfully manage both risk and reward.​
