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.

Financing Receivables & Sales Is Best Achieved With These Various Factoring Solutions











The Rise..And Continuing Rise Of A/R Finance Solutions In Canada





OVERVIEW – Information on business factoring in Canada. Financing receivables is an accepted way of ensuring your company can satisfy critical cash flow needs . Understanding how a/r finance works, what it costs , and how it can benefit your business is important








Factoring, known as the receivable financing solution continues to gain momentum as a financing alternative of choice for Canadian business owners and financial managers. We know why. Let's dig in.

The main reason? It's a case of a common sense approach to improving cash flow and working capital without taking on any debt and at the same time allowing your firm to grow without traditional type financing that might be difficult, or in some cases, impossible to achieve.

A lot has changed in the part of alternative financing, including rates / costs that have improved a great deal!


Clients ask us what risk or cost is involved in locking into a one year contract - the reality is that most firms considering factoring (also known as receivable financing, receivables discounting) actually do stay with this type of facility for at least a year. Firms that factor their accounts receivable usually have two options at the end of a one year fixed term - either move to a competitive factor facility, or in some cases migrate back to or achieve traditional Canadian chartered bank line of credit financing.

Never any doubt that traditional bank financing always has the lower rate, the reality is that it in many cases does not provide you with the amount of working capital you need if you are in high growth mode. Alternatively you may also have trouble meeting some of the bank ratio and covenant guidelines that come with those very respectable bank facilities.

We point out always to customers that the largest corporations in Canada and the U.S. in some cases also use A/R financing type facilities - it simply gives your firm, as well as the large firms, maximum leverage on working capital without taking on debt.
.

The amount of your factoring facility and the rate it commands is dependent on three issues -

1 The general overall risk profile of your firm - re growth, profitability, type of industry etc

2. The size of your total receivables

3. The overall customer quality or credit worthiness of your customer base


If you are having financial or growth challenges it is generally not recommended by finance people that you take on more debt - factoring solves this problem nicely - you are simply liquidating your receivables faster without borrowing .

Our most recommended solution for our clients? Confidential A/R financing!.. Allowing you to bill and collect your own receivables while retaining all the benefits of factoring.

Seek out a trusted, experienced and credible advisor in this niche area of Canadian business financing and assess your factoring options relative to type of facility that meets your growth needs. A factor facility with rates, terms and structures that suit your business model and provide you with all the working capital and cash flow you need is a competitive advantage.
