What is contract financing secured by?

Contract financing is specifically secured by the value of a specific contract because this type of financing is designed to provide funding based on the cash flow expected from a particular contract. When a business enters into a contract, it may require additional resources to fulfill that agreement. By using the contract as collateral, lenders can assess the risk and value associated with the revenue that will be generated from the contract's performance.

This type of financing allows businesses to leverage their contracts to gain immediate access to funds, making it especially useful in industries where contracts represent significant future revenue streams. The ability to secure financing directly against a specific contract helps mitigate risk for lenders, as they can expect payment based on the contract's terms while supporting the borrowing entity's operational needs.
