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.

ABCP AND US!

Todays Globe and Mail had a front page story on ABCP . ABCP is of course Asset Backed Commercial Paper . The article centered around COVENTREE CAPITAL, who were apparently a major player in the market .

The company is accused of making misleading statements , according to the Globe, to investors who bought these securities . When the ABCP market froze a domino effect happend in the Canadian commerical paper market . I vividly recall meeting with Coventree in the 2004-2005 timeframe and asking them to securitze a transaction which for 20 Million dollars, which I ultimately completed with other parties . The demise of Coventree during last years debt crisis still has an affect on my firm today, as many of our lending partners rely on this type of financing to provide liquidty to the market . Ultimately key players disappeared , rates rose, and credit quality became ' job one '
