Lending solutions that fit your business

Locally owned businesses and entrepreneurs are an integral part of the communities we serve. First Foundation Bank recognizes the importance of supporting these businesses by offering a variety of lending options. Our commercial bankers partner with you to understand your business, your goals, and unique needs so that we can tailor a credit solution that helps you achieve more.

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
