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.

Information Technology And ‘ IT ‘ Computer Financing In Canada Shouldn’t Be Cringe Inducing















Looking For A Technology Financing Sidekick?

OVERVIEW – Information on financing information technology in Canada. ‘ I T ‘ assets such as computer and software solutions require the maximum amount of financing leverage for a number of reasons








Information technology , and in particular ' I T ' Computer financing
in Canada doesn't need to be ' cringe worthy '
when it comes to putting the right finance solutions place for your computer, software, telecom and other needs in today’s ultra rapid pace of tech change .










So it would seem your firm might just benefit from a ' sidekick ' shall we say in addressing those financing needs. We suppose that's us, so let's dig in.

One of the most common solutions to acquiring and financing technology has historically been leasing. It's been around almost before the Dead Sea even was ill. And the benefits have always been the same.

The industry summarizes these as:

Asset obsolescence management

Cash flow preservation

Ability to upgrade assets as you require

Pre negotiated 'End of term' options that make sense for the lessee

Customization and Flexibility


It's therefore not hard to see how these key benefits, almost timeless with this type of financing fit nicely into Information technology financing.

Budgets are a key part of any company (large or small) tech finance asset strategy. Sometimes these budgets have timelines that make computer financing for hardware and software needs challenging. Lease financing allows the business owner and financial manager flexibility in managing to that budget, both in terms of funding and timing.

The ability of your company to adapt to new technologies and finance them at the same time will always be a top priority for businesses in today’s highly competitive environment.

Numerous ' accounting ' issues
tend to somehow ' pop up ' when it comes to ' I T ‘asset acquisition. This might be items such as ' depreciation', ' off balance sheet ' accounting for operating leases, book values, etc. It's always smart to consult both your accountants or an experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can assist you with the proper handling of those issues.

One of the biggest mistakes that a company can make is to be unwillingly, or ' unwittingly’ locked into computer financing situations that offer no flexibility. In a perfect world you want to strive for the ability to ' scale ' your investments in tech while at the same time knowing you can either ' lock in' or grow at any given time. Lease financing more often than not, properly structured, offers those options.

When you require technological assets it's of course key to select the right vendors and suppliers. While sometimes the vendor and finance solution are separated, in many cases it makes sense to use the ' CAPTIVE ‘finance solutions of your vendor which offer your firm a total one stop solution.

Knowing you have legitimate vendors and lease and finance contracts that are understandable and make sense is key to solid tech financing success.
Simply speaking the right assets and the right financing will help you achieve maximum RETURN ON INVESTMENT - ' ROI '.

‘CRINGING ' doesnt need to be a part o your information technology thought process. Find that ' sidekick' you need by seeking out and speaking to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor with a track record of success in IT Computer financing in Canada .
