Route the borrowing-base certificate away from new borrowers.
On the first of the month a borrowing base certificate is lost if it lands with new borrower stories. The certificate is a recurring fact about inventory, receivables, and availability the firm will compute itself. borrowing-base@ has to be the address printed on the reminder. abl@ can take a question about the facility. borrowers@ is only a company that does not yet have a certificate to send. Motus will not type an availability number.
First-of-month certificates need their own door
A borrowing base certificate assumes a facility that already exists. The sender knows the cadence. They are not introducing the company. If the PDF arrives in borrowers@, it waits under origin stories until someone notices the date. borrowing-base@ makes the cadence visible. The page should say what the firm expects in that mail: the certificate, the inventory support the firm actually requests, and nothing ornamental. Do not ask the sender to re-pitch the company every month.
Inventory is a support schedule, not a storefront. The page can say which inventory the firm is willing to see reported, in the firm's categories, and which categories it ignores. It cannot show a sample warehouse and a dollar sign. Dollar signs on inventory become an availability rumor. abl@ is where a borrower asks whether a category belongs at all, before the first certificate exists. That question is not a monthly filing.
Availability is computed by the firm, not the hero
Availability is a result after ineligibles, reserves, and the firm's own formula. Publishing a result, even as an illustration, invents a borrowing base for a company that has not sent one. Say that the firm computes availability after borrowing-base@ has the certificate. Say that the website will not preview the formula with friendly numbers. A formula on a sales page gets copied into a treasurer's email as if it were a commitment line.
New borrowers do not have availability to be told. borrowers@ should ask what the company sells, what the inventory is, and whether a facility already exists somewhere else. It should not ask them to estimate a base. An estimate written by a hopeful owner becomes the number everyone argues about later. Motus will not supply the estimate, the advance rate, or a chart that turns receivables into spendable cash.
Label abl, the certificate desk, and new names
abl@ answers facility questions from a company that already knows it is in a borrowing-base world: a definition, a reporting date, a contact. borrowing-base@ receives the certificate and the inventory support. borrowers@ receives the company that found the phrase and needs to learn whether this desk is relevant. Put the reporting date in the borrowing-base@ description so a treasurer sees the deadline without phoning. The date is the firm's date. Do not invent a universal first-business-day rule if the firm uses another.
Print the refusal beside the addresses. The page does not state availability. It does not value inventory. It does not say the facility is open, expanded, or renewed. Motus does not lend against the base and does not audit the warehouse. If the firm has a field examiner, that person is the firm's, and the site should not borrow their authority with a stock photo and a caption about trust.
Authority fits an asset-based desk that must catch a borrowing-base certificate at borrowing-base@ and keep availability figures out of the hero. New names stay at borrowers@.
Motus is not a lender. We do not quote an APR, promise approval, or take an application.

Questions
- Why is a borrowing base certificate different from a new asset-based inquiry?
- The certificate belongs to a facility that already exists, and the sender is not introducing the company. borrowing-base@ is the door, especially on the reporting date the firm actually uses. borrowers@ is the wrong pile for that PDF.
- Where should monthly inventory support for an asset-based facility go?
- To borrowing-base@ with the certificate, not to a new-name inbox. abl@ is for a definition or a date question. The page should name the inventory categories the firm actually reads and the ones it ignores, without a dollar sign.
- Will Motus publish an availability number for the borrowing base?
- No. Availability is the firm's result after its own formula, and an illustration invents a base for a company that sent nothing. Motus will not preview friendly numbers or chart receivables into spendable cash.
- What should a new borrower avoid estimating on an asset-based form?
- A self-estimated base. Hopeful numbers become the figure everyone argues about later. borrowers@ should ask what the company sells and whether a facility already exists. The studio will not supply an estimate or an advance rate.
