title: Exploring asset-based financing for physician practices.
abstract: Asset-based financing is an often overlooked option for financing acquistions. Two criteria for determining its applicability are the viability of the acquired entity and the liquid value of the borrowing base. Asset-based financing requires a lower initial investment than other forms of financing. However, overall costs may be higher than for traditional loans.
