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.

An Unfair Edge ? Offer Customer Financing At No Cost To Your Company! A Financial Program Via Canadian Vendor Leasing Works





Improve Sales and Marketing Results with Customer Financing Programs – Zero Cost – Large Results!


Information on vendor leasing via a customer finance offering for your clients . Let a financial program produce positive results for your firm .



Looking for a (legitimate!) unfair edge in Canadian business financing? Who wouldn't want that extra ' secret sauce ' that all businesses strive to achieve when competing within their own market.

We're talking about offering a financial program, at no cost, to your clients, giving you a solid marketing edge, and something the competition may not have, or even know about! That’s why a customer finance program via vendor leasing could well put your company at the head of the pack in your own market.

Could there be any more common sense attached to the simple concept of
providing your client with a financial solution to acquire your product or service? And, as we noted, that could well be at no cost. As you may have guessed the major auto manufacturers mastered this same concept, about 50 years ago! so it might be time to get on board.


Offering such a program does two basic things:

1. It makes the final purchase decision much easier for your clients

2. It doesnt take you as long to complete a sale - in effect your sales cycle is significantly reduced

Getting back to the competition, doesnt it also make sense that a financial program not offered by your competition puts you in a much better stead of winning the sale . We think so, and we've since it proven time and time again.

Depending on what study you are reading 8-9 out of ten companies in Canada utilize lease / loan financing for their asset acquisitions. If your customer is one of those firms doesnt it make sense that you’re simply offering them a financing solution that makes sense with something they are already comfortable with... well you get the drill .. you're one step close to making that sale, and winning over your competition.

How? That’s the next point to ponder in our efforts to make sure clients have that inside edge. How do you as a business set up a program that in effect could cost you nothing? Naturally if you want such k a customer finance program to not be free to your company then feel free to invest hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars into your own captive finance firm. Oh and by the way, hire the right talent and set up the proper infrastructure also, put those at the top of you ' to do ' list. The bottom line is your firm quite probably doesnt have the capital, financial management, and operational capabilities to set up and start your own finance firm.

Not interested in that? We fully understand! That is why the easy and logical solution is to work with a trusted third party that will provide the capital, take on the risk, and work to close transactions, in effect becoming a win/ win scenario for your firm and theirs.

Consider spending some time to investigate a customer finance program that makes sense for your products and services. Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can ensure you have a partnership program with the right party that gives you a clean program, with simple documentation, and the right amount of expertise and capital to give you the ' unfair edge ' in sales and marketing growth .

Want To Offer Customer Financing Programs? 3 Things You Need To Consider A Vendor Equipment Program





Use This Powerful Sales and Marketing Finance Tool !


Information on why Canadian firms should consider and offer customer financing programs via a vendor leasing initiative . Increase sales, cash flow and reduce your sales cycle with a customer finance offering.




We're all for an ' edge ' in Canadian business, that’s why we're quite sure that clients that offer customer financing programs via vendor leasing to their customers are probably doing better .. than you! Let's examine why, and how you too can get the sales edge via a vendor finance program. Oh and by the way, total cost = zero! That’s our kind of pricing!

If you speak to sales people they are the first ones to tell you that the sales cycle on many products can be a long one. But what if your firm could offer a tool that allows your potential customers to acquire your products and services in a way that removes a very large obstacle: you’re pricing! And doesn’t it go without saying that if you could in fact shorten that lead time in the sales cycle you would be closing in on the competition a lot more? We thing so, and lets examine 3 basic areas that you need to consider to set up a customer financing program.

So, consideration # 1. Have you got what it takes? If you firm are medium size to larger then you actually might want to give consideration to setting up an internal vendor finance division. Naturally that takes management expertise, as well an implied investment in operations and infrastructure. Have we forgotten anything? Oh yes, capital! As we said you can set up and offer a customer financing program for a lot of cost, or no cost. The reality is that this type of offering needs to be thought out in terms of what your customers are looking for. Things like the overall credit quality of your customer base are important.

Consideration # 2- If you choose not to develop of invest in a major program such as this what in fact are your options. I guess if we had to be totally honest (that’s our preference by the way) we can safely say that you retain most control if you set up and fund your own program. However, that just isn’t possible for thousands of firms who want to offer vendor leasing and finance, but don’t have the resources. By working with a select partner or Canadian business finance and lease advisor you can very easily ' outsource ' the program, all the while developing it for your own needs. You benefit from professional input, marketing assistance, and, oh yes, all the capital you need without any cost to your firm.

Consideration # 3 - You need to determine at the outset what you want to achieve from the program. Some key points to consider are simply how you will achieve the maximum benefits of the program from a short sales cycle, customer satisfaction, and positive cash flow. That positive cash flow is of course your benefit, as in all vendor financing your firm is paid 100% up front as soon as the customer signs off on your product as received, installed, accepted, etc.

So whats our bottom line. It’s pretty simple today, yet quite powerful. If you choose to offer customer financing there are significant benefits to be achieved. Examine the reasons you want to offer vendor leasing and finance, and then speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor on how you can achieve these benefits to enhance your sales and cash flow. It’s as simple as a phone call away.
