Lines of Credit

Cascadia’s lines of credit

Cascadia offers asset-based lines of credit (LOCs). These LOCs provide fast access to funds on an as-needed basis for short-term working capital needs. Once established, availability of funds on the LOC is typically tied to the value of the borrower’s accounts receivable. Lines are monitored with borrowing base certificates and use a lock-box system for pay downs.

Who can get a line of credit?

Cascadia LOCs are used by manufacturers, wholesalers, and service companies to manage their working capital needs.
