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.

Turning Canadian Business Equipment financing Challenges Into Opportunities - Leasing Finance Works!


Over the last year or so business financing availability has declined for many firms. Let's examine how one strategy, business equipment financing - can be turned into an opportunity for your firm to succeed. Leasing finance works and we'll show you how with valuable inside tips.

How many options does your firm have when it acquires new equipment? To our way of thinking, only three - you purchase it, you lease it, or you arrange for term loan financing. The math around leasing finance often shows you it might be marginally more expensive than outright purchase. That’s because more financially astute firms have the ability, and do, to run extensive lease versus buy scenarios.

So why would you typically want to choose a financing option such as business equipment financing via a lease if it turns our it’s a bit more expensive.

We think the compelling reasons to utilize lease financing revolve around some very important ' real world ' issues such as quick access to credit, conserving operating working capital, accounting issues such as keeping the asset potentially off your balance sheet , and , getting down to brass tacks .. You as a user don’t want to end up owning a ' boat anchor ' of an asset that is still on your books but has little use or very little economic and financial value.

If your time is at a premium, and which business owners time is not, then you will surely be pleasantly surprised that the life cycle of acquiring your asset and financing it is much short via an equipment financing solution.

We have already shown you that financing options are limited, so why not choose the easiest and quickest route to approval - which more often than not is business equipment financing. The majority of approvals can be arranged within a week or so if you have a basic package that includes the asset quote or descriptions, your financials, and some basic business overview material on your firm and industry.

Many times the business owners challenge is what to do with equipment at the end of the lease - a lot of things can change in 3 or 5 years, which are the most typical lease terms. (By the way, it’s not unusual for some assets to be financed via leasing finance over 7 - 10 years; but you'll need to demonstrate company viability and asset value at end of term).

But back to that end of lease scenario - think of all the challenges - which might include: do you want to own the equipment, will you choose to return it, and will the asset be required for some indefinite time at the end of the lease...? Etc. All of those are unknowns, or challenges to your business financing. Yet leasing finance solves all of those - a carefully constructed operating lease can give allow you to face all three of the above challenges head on, and be in control of your asset destiny.

In summary - all business financing tends to be a challenge. In some cases of asset acquisition the challenge is layered with elements of risk and a lot of the unknown. Speak to a trusted, credible an experienced business financing advisor on how you can turn asset acquisition challenges into controlled opportunities for growth, asset management, and profit.
