Revolving Lines of Credit

With a revolving line of credit, you have the flexibility to borrow as much or as little as you need to meet your specific working capital needs, which may include:

Managing seasonality of cash flow
Taking advantage of trade discounts
Expediting inventory purchases
Managing short-term cash flow while you wait for collection of receivables

Asset Based Lines of Credit (ABL)

With an ABL, you can better manage your company’s growth with quicker access to loan funds. ABL’s rely on the current value of your accounts receivable and inventory to support your need for additional financing. Most ABL’s are structured as a revolving line of credit limiting the need for principal payments. Companies that typically benefit from ABL’s include:

Companies that require immediate reinvestment of operating cash flow back into the business
Companies with longer operating cycles
Companies with higher leverage
Companies with higher revenue growth rates

Term Loans

We offer term loans for the purchase of fixed assets or other capital expenditures, tenant improvement, business acquisition including partner buy-outs, and other expansion opportunities your business may need.

Finance CAPEX to conserve cash flow
Build out your space to meet your needs
Grow your business through acquisitions

I have never had a banking experience with such personalized, responsive attention in my past banks. Our banker helped my business grow with our new laser that we were able to finance quickly and easily with our First Foundation Bank equipment loan.

The personalized customer service is what sets First Foundation apart from other financial institutions I’ve banked with in the past. The online banking is extremely efficient and the financing packages are unbeatable.
We partnered with First Foundation following a period of difficult financial circumstances. FFB stepped up with thorough and fair vetting we had not seen from other major banks. The result has been a tremendous 3+ years of growth and partnership.
