There are certainly a handful of deals (Sears, Bill Blass, Candies, restaurant franchise deals...) that have been completed but this financing option typically requires size and some a track record. Now, I am a firm believer that the securitization market should be able to grow and incorporate IP given the stable cash flow associated with it, but right now, its just not there. It wasn't even there before the suprime mess crippled the securitization sector.<BR/><BR/>So, I ask the folks here, what am I missing? Are there small deals that get done privately that just don't make the headlines? Are people loosely throwing out the phrase securitization but really mean asset backed loan (ABL)? Or are people just being optimistic about this particular financing source?<BR/><BR/>I'd really like to sell my institution on providing leverage on IP, at least on a short term basis, so any feedback would be much appreciated.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
