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.

Alternative Financing Options Are Not The Complicated Concepts For Business Loans You Thought They Were




Out Of Ideas On Business Finance Options ? We’re Not!









OVERVIEW – Information on alternative financing options in Canada as an alternative to traditional business loans in Canada





Alternative financing options are not the complicated concepts and structures some clients we meet think they are. In fact over recent years when it comes to business loans many finance solutions formally thought of as ' alternative' have in fact become... as we maintain .. the new traditional. Let's dig in.

No secret that Canadian business owners and financial managers are looking for straightforward options and advice when they look to obtain debt solutions or asset monetizing strategies.

The good news here of course is that the majority of companies looking for financing are doing that because they have both great promise for larger revenues, as well as the need for the working capital, cash flow and term loans that will satisfy that growth.

The optimal solution is no nonsense financing that matches the right rates, terms and structure to your company's specific need. Yes of course it would be great to go to the Yellow Pages
(does anyone still do that?), look up business financing alternatives and call the right #.

In fact you probably could do that if you were totally, and we mean totally prepared, but the reality is that a lot of clients we meet spend a lot of time searching for solutions that are totally inappropriate for their specific need based on their current financial ' profile '.

The best example of this is when the ' go to ' financing solution is, in the mind of the business owner ' the bank'. If they were to better understand why Canadian chartered banks won't lend them money they would be saving a lot of time and probably a few dollars.

At the core of bank financing in Canada is the concept that business loans made in the Canadian business financing landscape are made 'safely' There is a full expectation there is little, or no risk, simply because as Canadian consumer account holders we have a full expectation with the bank that our funds are safe.



So yes, if your firm is established, has demonstrable historical, present and future cash flow and collateral assets to further back up our financing need its ALL SYSTEMS GO.









BUT .. if your firm is ' bleeding edge' when it comes to new products or services, or if you are ' pre revenue ' , or if your contracts are out of the country , or you require further R&D to complete products and services .. Well we think you know where we're going with that one.

In some cases we can consider government assistance as alternative funding to some degree. Programs such as the Canadian BIL/SBL program or the SR&ED program can provide a significant amount of capital to SME sector firms

So what in fact are those alternative financing options? They might include:

Confidential Receivable Financing
PO/Supply Chain Finance
SR&ED Tax Credit Financing
Short Term Operating Leases
Non Bank asset based commercial business lines of credit
Sale leaseback strategies
Royalty Finance
Contract financing - Example SAS (Software as a Service)



For business loans and alternative financing solutions that make sense (for your firm) seek out and speak to a trusted, credible, and experienced Canadian business financing advisor with a track record of success.
