ABF or Asset-backed Finance is yet another trusted solution on offer by us.
How do you know if this is the correct solution for you? We’ve unpacked ABF into plain English.
In generic terms asset-backed finance is self-explanatory; a loan that is secured by ceding an asset. A Home Loan is an example of Asset-backed Finance; here you are borrowing funds against an asset.
So how does this all relate in the Rodel world?
Our product came about when we discovered a need amongst our commercial clients for bridging finance on transactions that are not necessarily linked to the sale or purchase of a home. These clients had assets and needed the cash urgently for business transactions. They knew they would be in a position to repay these funds sooner than a traditional Home Loan term and also didn’t want to go through the process of applying for a Home Loan and paying the associated fees.
Imagine the following;
You have your eye on a business that you have painstakingly investigated but you’re up against another buyer. It has come down to one simple fact; whoever raises the money first will be successful in the purchase of this business. Or the continued success of your business depends on acquiring equipment/stock which you need to pay for immediately.
You own an asset, a freehold property, but you do not have the time to apply for and await registration of a bond in order to access the equity therein.
Cue Rodel!

Go on, Rodel it!
