To mark the one-year anniversary of the launch of ABL Advisor, we return with our second industry leaders roundtable discussion. Here we catch up with executives from four leading asset-based lending and factoring institutions. Once again, we approach the industry from varying market perspectives … from the syndicated loan market to small business lending. One noteworthy departure from last year’s panel lies in the fact that three of the four executives are from finance companies rather than from commercial banks. Each industry leader was more than willing to speak with us and took time from their busy schedules to share their view of the asset-based lending marketplace.

As such, our thanks go out to Bob McCarrick of GE Capital, Corporate Finance; Laurie Muller-Girard of KeyBank Business Capital; Lee Wilson of First Capital and Michael Monk of AmeriSource.

While both the questions and answers are nuanced to best fit the different market sectors, our four executives agree: now more than ever, the ABL product is a favored asset class that provides borrowers of any size with flexible financing solutions.

Feel free to read these four perspectives in any order you prefer.
