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.

Receivable Financing Factoring Companies Help Thousands Of Firms . Would A Factor Company Solution Work ?







Here’s One Method Of Saving Your Company From Cash Flow Challenges !



OVERVIEW – Information on receivable financing factoring

in Canada . How a factor company make your firm ‘ cash flow positive ‘!





Receivable financing factoring is a fairly simple process. The process? It's as follows - As you generate sales and invoice your clients for goods and services you have delivered ( Yes , service companies can also be financed in this manner!) your finance factor company buys those from you based on an agreement being in place to do so .

You typically receive 90% of your funds the same day, the balance is remitted to you as soon as your client pays, less finance costs. In Canada these costs average 1.5 - 2% per month . (Various criteria affect your rate, more about that later).

In Canada the majority (99.9% is pretty well a majority don't you think) require that payments by your clients go directly to the factor company. We're not big fans of that scenario, so that's why our recommended and preferred solution to clients is a CONFIDENTIAL RECEIVABLE FINANCING

facility, allowing your firm to bill and collect your own A/R. That in our opinion is the optimal solution.

Back to those receivable financing rates, which tend to be a point of major discussion when we're facilitating this type of solution? Your overall rates are generally based on the following criteria - the size of your receivables is one. However make sure you understand that if you're dealing with the right firm you are not required to finance your entire A/R portfolio all the time. You choose when you want funding and in what amount. And that of course means you only pay for what you use. That's a good solution, right?

Other factors that affect pricing include the general quality of your customer base, the number of clients you have, average invoice sizes over time, and the overall quality of both your own firm’s finances as well as your client’s general reputation. That’s a lot of qualifiers but in almost all cases unless your company is in a death spiral you will get the financing you need. That's why A/R finance is a clear alternative when traditional bank financing is not available.

The thing about receivable finance is being educated on who to deal with, its one form of business finance where a ' word to the wise ' is a valuable gift! Many Canadian business owners and financial managers are intrigued by f factoring; they simply don’t have enough quality information to digest why it might work for them.

When we sit down with clients we talk about a number of key issues in the whole A/R financing process.

That includes:

Benefits of A/R finance

The value of an advisor or consultant

Cost of finance

Due diligence required to set up a facility

Tips and tricks to enhance maximum cash flow
