WELCOME !

Thanks for dropping in for some hopefully great business info and on occasion some hopefully not too sarcastic comments on the state of Business Financing in Canada and what we are doing about it !

In 2004 I founded 7 PARK AVENUE FINANCIAL. At that time I had spent all my working life, at that time - Over 30 years in Commercial credit and lending and Canadian business financing. I believe the commercial lending landscape has drastically changed in Canada. I believe a void exists for business owners and finance managers for companies, large and small who want service, creativity, and alternatives.

If you believe as we do that financing solutions and alternatives exist for your firm we want to talk to you.

Canadian Do It Yourself Equipment Lease And Loan Advice – Commercial Business Financing


What caught our eye the other day in a U.S. based article was a title that screamed ' What's hot in Equipment Lease and commercial business financing '. The article went on to say that a large number of industries were totally back to using lease loan type financing for their asset needs.

But hey, this is Canada, so let’s try and make some sense of whats happening in equipment finance ' up here ' and how Canadian business owners and financial mangers can reap those same benefits.

Have you ever wondered what the most popular types of equipment are when equipment lease financing is utilized? In general the categories or industries that use this type of financing most are the following: Medical equipment, oil and gas assets, machinery tools, trucks and trailers, construction, and yes airplanes - clearly most aircrafts are financed!

It’s safe to say that if your company is in any of the above industries it might be advisable to jump on board, but the hard core reality is that lease financing and commercial business financing leases and loans can be utilized for any type of business asset. And when that asset creates revenues and profits for your firm a lease finance firm wants to be your financing partner.

Two key areas of equipment financing mentioned in the U.S. article were operating leases and used equipment valuation. It's been a tough couple years for all industries, and during the 2008-2009 but it is much easier these days to get used equipment financing, an appraisal or some type of valuation might be required.

As a Canadian business owner your perspective on asset acquisition probably constantly changes - you are wresting with general economic conditions, tax and accounting issues, and competitive pressures.

Can you actually be a ' do it yourselfer' in equpment lease business financing? We're the first to suggest expert assistance often helps but the bottom line is that many Canadian business owners are more sophisticated than ever when it comes to understanding the benefits of lease finance.

As a lessee you should be prepared to make a strong case for rates, terms and structures you think you deserve - this involves being informed about the general Canadian commercial equipment business financing market and then making smart choices when it comes to managing your working capital via this type of financing. Conserving your capital and cash flow , leaving your other borrowing power intact, and focusing on 100% financing of the asset will make you a do it yourself expert in asset finance .

Not 100% comfortable in working your way through types of leases offered, who are the players in the Canadian market, and structuring transaction that work from a cash flow perspective ? No problem?
