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.

Every day we strive to consistently deliver business financing that you feel meets the needs of your business. If you believe as we do that financing solutions and alternatives exist for your firm we want to talk to you. Our purpose is simple: we want to deliver the best business finance solutions for your company.

Unclear On Accounts Receivable Finance ? A/R Financing Companies Will Turn Your Business Around.





Looking For A Canadian cash flow solution?



Information on financing companies in Canada offering accounts receivable finance .Does a factoring / invoice discounting program work for you ?



The proverbial ' turnaround '. Typically we think of if as a reversal in fortune, whether in sports, life, or in our case today, ' Business'! More and more Canadian business owners that are looking for a turnaround in their cash flow and working capital are considering accounts receivable finance from financing companies in Canada to effect that turnaround.

But is that a sensible solution? It certainly is with the right circumstances and the right information. Otherwise consider it somewhat of a deadly minefield of misinformation and dealing with the wrong parties. And at a time when the Canadian business financing environment is at (or close to!) it's tightest it makes sense to have the right information at hand.

So it starts at the river, where the cash flows (or isn’t flowing!) That's lack of flow is absolutely the right time to contemplate an A/R receivable finance strategy. Simply speaking it's a tool that can be used by business of all size, from start up to major corporation. Financing companies in Canada sometimes do not do a great job of even explaining things properly, or even advertising them in a manner that makes it clear what the solution involves. So don't get confused when you hear terms like invoice discounting, confidential A/R financing, factoring, etc. Essentially they are all the same, simple as that.

Cash flow tends to slow down when your business or the economy, or both slow down. So it’s at that time when you're probably most creatively challenged to come up with working capital solutions.

Is bank financing for the start up or existing SME (small medium enterprise) extinct? We won't weigh into that debate, but safe to say that that if your firm is not a very solid citizen in good standing with the bank... well let's just leave it at that!

As we have intimated half the battle in accounts receivable finance is just understanding the solution, and knowing how to choose the right financing companies to implement that solution. First of all it comes down to understanding the benefits, and the mechanics of the A/R finance strategy.

There are essentially two key offerings in the Canadian marketplace, the traditional one that's been around before the Dead Sea was sick and a newer, and in our belief preferred solution to that same problem. The traditional solution has you receiving anywhere from 70-90% of your a/r via an immediate advance on the invoice, as soon as you generate it, or at anytime thereafter, as long as the invoice is less than 90 days old. When that invoice is collected by the finance companies that offer this traditional solution you get the remaining amount back immediately, less a financing charge which typically is in the 2-3% per month range assuming a collection period of 30 days.

The alternative is a confidential invoice financing solution, allowing you to bill and collect your own receivables, while at the same time receiving the cash advances as you generate sales/invoices. It's the confidentiality of this type of offering, i.e. no notification to any of your clients or other creditors that we feel is appealing to the Canadian business owner or financial manager.

So the benefits of either of the above strategy now become immediately clear - you're in positive cash flow , suppliers can now be paid, payrolls and government remittances can be made, and , oh yes, you can grow your business again.

So depending on which solution you choose the bottom line is that your turnaround is in motion! Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can work with you to implement the solid cash flow solutions you need... today.

  1. As a business, you must first make a list of all invoices that are owed to you by your customers and clients. Factoring companies generally require that these bills are signed by the client, along with information from other customers dependent upon the guidelines of the factoring company is.
