What is an asset-based line of credit?

An asset-based line of credit is revolving financing secured by your business assets, most often your accounts receivable. Instead of judging you on credit history alone, the lender looks at the value of what your business is owed and extends credit against it. As those receivables grow, so does your available credit.

Because the line is revolving, it's not a one-time loan: draw what you need, repay as invoices clear, and draw again, up to your limit, paying only for what you use. That's what makes asset-based revolving credit different from a term loan or a one-time advance.

Aion's asset-based line works the way the others should. Because your receivables and banking live on one platform, Aion sees them in real time, so the weekly spreadsheets, field exams, and manual asset reports simply go away. Underwriting is faster, and your line keeps pace with your business automatically.

High limits

High limits, because your business has outgrown the alternatives.

Most online lenders cap out around $250,000. That's fine for a brand-new business, far too little for one that's scaling. Aion is built for the next stage.

01

Lines of $1M, $2M, and up to $5M.

Credit sized to a real, growing operation, not a starter limit you'll outgrow in a year.

02

10–20× higher than typical fintech lenders.

Where most online lenders stop at $250K, Aion keeps going, because the line is backed by your receivables rather than a one-size formula.

03

Your limit grows as you do.

Land a bigger contract and your receivables rise; your available credit rises with them. No reapplying, no renegotiating.

The alternative

Built for businesses the bank's formula can't size.

If your bank said no, or offered far less than you need, it's usually not a reflection of how strong your business is. More often, it's that you don't fit a rigid formula built for a different kind of borrower. Aion underwrites on the strength of your receivables, so growing businesses get capital sized to where they're headed.

A big-bank alternative

Big-bank scale, up to $5M, without the field exams, quarterly audits, and months of underwriting, and without the "here's our menu, pick one" rigidity.

An alternative to a term loan

A term loan hands you a lump sum you start paying interest on immediately, then makes you reapply for more. A revolving line lets you draw only what you need, when you need it, and refills as you repay.

Capital to grow

This is capital to fund the bigger production run, the larger contract, or the next phase, without starting your financing from scratch every time.

Cost & structure

Line of credit vs. MCA: why the cost structure matters.

Fast-funding options, merchant cash advances especially, usually quote a factor rate instead of an APR. A factor rate is a flat multiplier: borrow $100,000 at a 1.4 factor rate and you repay $140,000, no matter how quickly you pay it back. Unlike interest, it doesn't shrink when you repay early, which can make a merchant cash advance (MCA) far more expensive than the headline number suggests.

Aion works the opposite way. Charges accrue daily, only on the balance you've drawn, so paying down your line lowers your cost. For most clients, that's an effective cost of capital of about 2% on drawn amounts, typically cheaper than an MCA or factoring (which runs 1 to 5 percent of the full invoice), and below many traditional lines of credit.

Stated APRs range from 16% to 19% and vary with credit quality. Because charges apply only to your drawn balance and are calculated daily, the effective cost most clients pay is about 2%. And unlike a factor rate, there's no penalty for paying early.

How to qualify

How to qualify for an asset-backed business line of credit.

Because the line is asset-based, qualifying is more about the strength of your receivables than a single credit score. Aion is built for established, growing businesses, roughly $1–50M in revenue.

01

Check your limit.

Share a few basics about your business and see what you qualify for in minutes, with no lengthy bank process and no full application to start.

02

Connect your receivables and banking.

Aion verifies your receivables in real time, so underwriting is faster and more flexible than a bank's, and there's nothing to file manually.

03

Draw when you need it.

Once approved, your funds are ready. Draw, repay, and draw again, and your line grows as your receivables do.

FAQ

Questions we get asked.

What is an asset-based line of credit?

Revolving financing secured by your business assets, usually your accounts receivable. The lender extends credit against the value of what your business is owed, and your available credit grows as your receivables do. You draw what you need, repay, and draw again, paying only for what you use.

How high can the limit go?

Aion offers lines of $1 million, $2 million, and up to $5 million, often 10 to 20 times higher than fintech lenders that cap around $250,000. Because the line is backed by your receivables, it scales as your business grows.

How is an asset-based line of credit different from a term loan?

A term loan is a lump sum on a fixed repayment schedule, with interest on the full amount from day one. An asset-based line of credit is revolving: you draw only what you need and pay only for what you use, and it refills as you repay.

What's the difference between a line of credit and a merchant cash advance (MCA)?

An MCA typically charges a factor rate, a flat multiplier that doesn't shrink if you repay early, and is repaid through a share of daily sales. A line of credit charges only on what you draw, so repaying early lowers your cost. For most Aion clients the effective cost is about 2% on drawn amounts.

What's the difference between APR and a factor rate?

APR expresses cost as an annual percentage on your outstanding balance, so paying down the balance reduces what you owe. A factor rate is a fixed multiplier set at the start: borrow $100,000 at 1.4 and you repay $140,000 regardless of timing. Aion uses daily charges on drawn balances rather than a factor rate.

My bank turned me down. Can I still qualify?

Often, yes. Banks decline strong businesses simply because they don't fit a rigid formula. Aion underwrites on the strength of your receivables, so growing businesses that don't fit a traditional box can still access high-limit credit.

How do I qualify for a business line of credit with Aion?

Check your limit in minutes, connect your receivables and banking, and draw when you need it. Aion is built for established, growing businesses, roughly $1–50M in revenue, and qualifying centers on the strength of your receivables.

Always ON for your business.
