Asset utilization loans are a type of financing where a borrower can leverage their existing assets, such as inventory, equipment, or accounts receivable, as collateral to secure a loan. The calculation for asset utilization loans typically involves determining the value of the assets being used as collateral and then determining the loan amount based on a certain percentage of that value.

​

Here's an example of how asset utilization loans are calculated:

​

• Assess the value of the assets: The lender will evaluate the assets being used as collateral to determine their current market value. This could involve appraisals, inventory audits, or assessments of accounts receivable.

• Loan-to-value ratio (LTV): The lender will then apply a loan-to-value ratio, which is the percentage of the asset's value that the lender is willing to lend against. This ratio can vary depending on factors such as the type of asset, its liquidity, and the perceived risk.

• Calculate the loan amount: The loan amount is determined by multiplying the value of the assets by the loan-to-value ratio. For example, if the assets are valued at $100,000 and the lender offers a loan-to-value ratio of 80%, the maximum loan amount would be $80,000 ($100,000 * 0.80).
