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.

Canadian Business Loan Financing : Pain or Pleasure ? Mastering Finance Success With Equipment Lease Companies



















Equipment Leasing Success Strategies



Information on equipment lease companies in Canada and how to maximize asset acquisition business financing success via leasing and equipment loan strategies that work to your competitive advantage




You've been there before. Does this sound familiar? You need to acquire costly assets for your company and don't want to utilize your cash reserves of business operating credit to acquire asset financing.

Yes of course you could get a traditional term loan via your chartered bank, but if you are a small or medium sized business and unable to access term financing what are your available options? The answer is a business financing lease loan via Canadian equipment lease companies.

Why are some firms successful in both obtaining approval for their leased asset needs, and at the same time seemingly able to get the payments they want to sustain their cash flow and working capital.

Let's examine some key info, strategies, tips, and types of solutions available to Canadian business owners and financial managers.

You will find first of all, and this is a key driver in business financing and equipment leasing... that approval for your transaction is much easier to obtian than other types of asset finance. Most business owners don’t understand the very simple process involved in acquiring asset financing via equipment lease companies in Canada. To prove our point it’s simply a fact that in North America Billions, yes billions of dollars of assets are lease financed.

A typical approval process is simply a standard credit application, appropriate financial disclosure, and a copy of a quote or invoice from your chosen vendor. It's as simple as that. Naturally the larger the transaction size the more info you might have to provide re financial statements, etc.

Many businesses aren’t aware that a huge part of the equipment lease industry in Canada utilizes whats known as an ' app only ' approval process, with you as a business owner providing only a standard application, with most approvals done via automatic scoring, via the lessors ' point system ' criteria around your years in business , payment record to suppliers , etc.

You have truly mastered equipment lease business financing when you fully comprehend the fact that almost any asset, even some intangibles (i.e. software) can be financed. Its
when you make your lease and loan finance decision a part of your overall long term financing strategy that you suddenly realize that every asset that is both costly and depreciates probably makes sense in your overall lease financing strategy .

Successful lease finance lets you keep and grow your cash reserves, allowing you to survive against that constant battle with your competitors. One of the smartest things you can do is to develop relationships with equipment lease companies that will over a long term basis provide you with ongoing lease lines of credit for all your asset needs. The industry itself refers to this strategy as an ' evergreen ' scenario, one in which your firm is constantly refreshing its assets to generate sales and profits.

How many times have you felt that sales and profits are growing, you seem to be winning the competitive battle, but cash flow is a challenge due the to the heavy investment you have in assets such as receivables and inventory . That’s when business financing via a n equipment lease makes your overall success complete, as you retain that much needed operating cash flow for growth and sales, letting lease and loan finance hand the asset acquisition part of your growth plan .

Let's get one thing straight. The reason leasing companies in Canada exist is simply their own mandate to generate lease transactions! Criteria for approval is significantly different than a more traditional banking approach, with heavy emphasis placed on the asset as collateral, as well as its ability to generate profits and sales for your company . Many business owners are surprised to hear that even start ups or very young firms can generate significant lease financing approvals for assets they need to grow the business.

We've focused on issue such as approval, types of assets, and alternatives to traditional financing in looking at your relationship with equipment lease companies. But don’t forget also the other major benefits of this asset acquisition strategy, some of which may be more important than others to your firm. They include tax and balance sheet advantages, improving your ability to manage obsolescence in assets.

We can guarantee you that you'll only master and be successful in lease financing when you understand the make up of the Canadian equipment lease landscape. Knowing who to talk to and whats available will put you significant ahead of the pack. Speak to a trusted, credible and experience Canadian business financing advisor for assistance in dealing with equipment leasing companies to your advantage.

Equipment Lease Companies In Canada : Inside The Hunt For Lease Financing Solutions For New & Used Equipt Acquisition












Ready To Save Save Thousands?
Here’s How When Utilizing Lease Financing & Equipment Finance Strategies


OVERVIEW – Information on solutions offered by equipment lease companies in Canada. Lease financing solutions , structured properly can save your firm thousands of dollars when you’re acquiring new or used assets





Lease financing solutions help resolve the financial conflict that comes about when your firm wrestles with the balancing act that comes out of acquiring new or used assets. But how does the owner/financial mgr know how to manage this process, much less locate the best financing company to do business with? The maze of what is known as equipment financing in Canada. We've got answers, so let's dig in!

When business folks think of ' saving '... it's really simply the act of managing a resource such as your capital and putting it to work in the best manner

But do you have to give up something to get a solid equipment financing approval with a structure that makes sense to your company. We don't think so, and we will show you how to navigate, successfully!
Top experts remind us that the best way to be successful in achieving the benefits that lease financing bring to the table is to simply ' visualize ' them. More often than not in lease financing you are focusing on getting a return on investment on your acquisition, and structuring it financially in a way that makes sense.

Can you, as we maintain, save thousands of dollars on an equipment lease when you ' do it right'? We believe you can. But first you have to focus on ‘why’ you’re financing the equipment and why certain lease companies in Canada may or may not be your best bet when you finance.

You finance equipment for some very basic reasons - lets cover them off... and we get rid of the most boring one first, accounting! The accounting treatment of a lease is very important and often misunderstood or not properly address when we discuss the issue with clients. For instance, if you can keep the lease off balance sheet you have just delivered a greater return on asset value to the owners or shareholders of your firm. That's a key measurement used by owners, lenders and investors when they look at your firm.

If you firm are capital driven, i.e. asset intensive, meaning you need lots of capital to run your business then structuring the right type of lease will have immeasurable positive effect on your performance and operating ratios.
Many operating lenders structure your credit agreements around your ratios, and properly handled and accounted for leases can be a real positive in this regard.
Financial and cash flow reasons also drive business behavior when lease financing in Canada. It's all about:

Working Capital Preservation!

Even negotiating a lower down payment or a higher balloon payment at the end of your lease can save you many thousands of dollars, depending on the size of your transaction. Those savings can be re invested into the company to generate further sales and profits.

Have you made the mistake of acquiring technology on a lease and then having to write down the book value of the lease half way through the transaction when you have just discovered, surprise, surprise! That your technology is now obsolete!
Matching the tem of the lease with the useful economic life of the lease can save you thousands in potential equipment write downs in the technology area - think computer investments, telecom systems, etc.

We hate it, but most of our clients are focused on only one thing, which is the proverbial lease rate. Unfortunately equipment lease companies in Canada know this and can do a real number on your firm when it comes to camouflaging the true rate in a lease - this is done by quoting you payments calculated in arrears, getting first and last payments in advance, increasing the size of a security deposit, or charging you per diem rates for project type financing when leasing is required.

Got all the time in the world? Then investigate every nuance of Canadian lease finance and try and address all of those issues and strategies.

A better answer? Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who will structure the right lease that focuses on benefits that are real to your firm, saving you thousands in the process. That's a solid plan to save money!
