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.

Commercial Loans In Canada : No Silver Bullet Approach To Raise Capital For Business Investment





Eliminating The ‘ Dark Side ‘ Of Canadian Business : Financing








OVERVIEW – Information on commercial loans in Canada . The ability to raise capital for investment in business growth depends on a number of key factors.



Commercial loan
needs In Canada: Cash and capital are two basic fundamental needs for any Canadian business. Your ability to raise capital and access funding for investment depends on some key factors. Let’s dig in.

Every counted the needs you have around working capital and ongoing cash flow? They include fixed costs such as rent/leases, wages, equipment needs, and even ongoing research and development if that's applicable to your industry. Business owners also want to ensure they are not overly exposed personally when it comes to personal assets and collateral they are more often than not required to pledge. The hard reality is that the search for cash and capital are never ending and your current situation will almost never mirror your long term needs. All those factors contribute to a feeling of entering the ‘ dark side ‘.

Many business owners and clients we meet are sometimes of the opinion there is one ' silver bullet ‘.







Top experts tell us that in fact a number of different factors determine what type of capital you require and in what amount .Those factors include:

Type of industry

Capital Intensity requirements re needs for fixed assets

Profit margins


Sources of capital can potentially be accessed quicker if you have access to people in the know - they include accountants, lawyers or a Canadian business financing advisor. Their ability to provide you with a road map to financing success increases commensurate with their expertise.

There are also huge differences in capital solutions depending on whether your firm is a start up, in business and growing, or mature and looking for new markets or acquisitions. NOTE: One of the best solutions for start up financing in Canada is the Govt Small Business Loan, aka the ' SBL '. It finances equipment and even leasehold improvements to rented premises. Having a track record in business or in a particular industry really helps here.

As businesses mature they need to both acquire and finance assets. Financing assets can be achieved through various means:

Traditional bank lines and term loans

Receivable and Inventory Financing

Monetization of SR&ED tax credits for companies that participate in that program

Asset based non bank business credit lines - They are known as ' ABL's

Equipment financing and Sale Leasebacks


Commercial lenders have never been more plentiful and are providing financing in various ' niches’ for SME COMMERCIAL FINANCE needs.

We constantly remind clients that angel investors , venture capitalists, and private equity groups offer equity capital for the rare 1-2% of business that qualifies for this method of capital raising - ' Equity '.

More mature firms may want to divest either divisions or founders may wish to sell their business. Acquisition financing must be matched to proper valuation and asset situations.
If you’re at the crossroads in business financial solutions consider seeking out and speaking to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success who can bring some light to the ‘ dark side’ of business : funding .
