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.

How Good Receivable Factoring Companies Work In Canada








How Much Money Can Nuances Save You ?

In Factoring.. Thousands !!




OVERVIEW – Information on receivable factoring companies in Canada . How can the business owner benefit from an A/R finance strategy that maximizes the obvious and not so obvious benefits of this powerful cash flow tool.




Receivable factoring companies in Canada. Can a good one save you money on A/R financing costs, while delivering the benefits of Canada's newest cash flow financing tool ? We think so .. and here's why.

As most business owners and managers know. its not always about the obvious in business. Sometimes those ' subtle nuances ' are quite important! So while the obvious benefit of AR Finance is simply receiving the majority of your cash for sales you generated that day this overall financing strategy has other benefits also. And while key benefits might be the same, the type of firm you deal with and how they price their financing is key. That's where the ' saving money ' concept comes in where we're doing apples to apples comparison.



One way that many firms in fact do not assess a receivable finance offering is the concept of being able to alter their payment terms strategy. If the business owner/manager was previously unable to compete with others offering your clients better payment terms you have now leveled the playing field. As long as your gross margins can absorb the cost of that 30 days of extra financing , or 60???.. you're in a position to potentially gain more business with the use of receivable factoring companies.

So back to those nuances. What do you really need to focus on after you have decided to adopt an A/R financing strategy? First of all you need to understand how the receivable finance firm makes it money, as all businesses are of course focused on making reasonable profits relative to their risk.

In factoring your pricing is going to come from an analysis of your total sales volume, how much you’re going to finance on an ongoing basis, the average size of your invoices, number of clients, and the overall general credit worthiness of your firm and your clients. With A/R finance your firm doesnt have to have the same level of bank quality financial statements that you would in fact require to be able to borrow these sums from the bank.

So lets get back to some of those nuances, which, when understood make your firm a winner in the cash flow and working capital game. It's feels like a game sometimes, doesnt it? as do other aspects of business.

A solid receivable factor company won’t insist you finance all your sales, especially if you don't need that extra cash. Remember also that a good partner finance firm will be charging you on a per diem basis, with no tricks in between that. What does that mean? Simply that if your client pays in 42 days as an example that you are in fact only charged for 42 days, not the nearest increment of 45 or 60 days!

We encourage clients, either on their own, or with a credible financing advisor to understand the true benefits of asset turnover. Prior to cash flow financing using factoring your firm was unable to significantly grow sales and borrow all the working capital you need to achieve that goal.

So when you use factoring to eliminate the cash flow gap you will find that your income statement and revenues and profits are nicely positioned to enhance your business significantly. Profits don't equal cash flow as most business owners painfully find out - and that’s where A/R finance solves the mystery of growing your business with all the capital you need.

One final tip. And as far as nuances go, it’s a big one. Consider a confidential invoice factoring strategy. You will achieve all the benefits of the ' main street' ' ' traditional' factoring offered by most companies while at the same time maintaining full control of all your billing, collecting and client relationships.

Want to understand some of those ' nuances' in a better fashion. Seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can assist you with a working capital solution and strategy that makes sense.
