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.

Business Finance Funding & Refinancing In Canada : Much Ado About Something






Problem : Business Finance Funding & Refinancing In Canada





OVERVIEW – Information on business finance funding and refinancing in Canada . Business rescue solutions are available for owners/managers who take the time to understand the reality around possible options




Business finance funding
in Canada, unfortunately for many owners/ financial managers (especially those in the COMMERCIAL SME sector) is, to paraphrase our friend Shakespeare
... MUCH ADO ABOUT SOMETHING. That something is the challenges faced by companies who require, among other things refinancing and monetization of assets. Let's dig in.

If there is any good news it's that the options available simply require some patience and expertise. By that time typically the business has started to grow into revenue. They have passed the ' friends and family' phase, including popular options today such as ' crowdfunding'.

Business financing
is all about sales, assets, and cash flow. Without all of those in some measure options such as additional equity capital must be explored.

In Canada those firms that are involved in R&D in some manner have the unique benefit of being able to utilize the SR&ED refundable tax credit program ; they are now able under that fed./prov. program to recover a large majority of their r & d spend . Even more good news is that program is 100% financeable, allowing firms to monetize / cash flow those credits and eliminate the waiting period for the refund.

What then must the owner/manager do to access the right funding at the right time? The answer is the business equivalent of ' going back to school ' - You need to educate yourself on the different methods of financing available , how they work, and what they can do, or not do, for your firm.

A quick recap of the basic funding options is as follows:

Bank credit lines / term loans

Inventory & A/R financing

Asset based non bank business credit lines - “ABL’S"

Working Capital Term Loans

Govt Guaranteed Small Business Loans

SR&ED tax credit monetization

Purchase Order Financing

Bridge Loans/ Equipment Financing/ Sale Leasebacks

Royalty / Sales Financing


After you understand the basics of each of those offerings it's important to ensure you can supply the information needed to ensure you qualify for one or a number of those offerings. That might include a business plan, cash flow forecast, and asset schedules around receivables, inventory and fixed assets.

With respect to being prepared it's very safe bet that that if you can demonstrate control and knowledge of your business finances you're in a much better place when it comes to finance funding approval.

If you want to address the problem of refinancing or funding your business and want some help in the time it takes to source the right solution seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can shorten that timeline.
