What is Warehouse Financing?

Warehouse financing is a form of financing in which manufacturers take loans using their goods or commodities as collateral for the loan. The collateral is held in trust, that is, a third party who is the trustee in the financial arrangement holds the goods on behalf of the lender. In most cases, an agent can be in control of the collateral or the collateral will be kept in warehouses that the lending institution approves. However, as the name implies, collaterals in warehouse financing are kept in a warehouse, these are non-perishable commodities and goods that the manufacturer uses as collateral for the loan taken.
