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.

Working Capital Financing In Canada : A Trip Inside Finance Options for Canadian Business





5 Working Capital Options for Canadian Business


OVERVIEW – Information on working capital financing in Canada. Various finance options exist that compliment your business cash flow needs without the need to take on additional debt





Working capital financing in Canada
comes with a number of finance options for the business owner/financial manager. When, and which of these options makes sense for your business. Let's dig in.

There's not a lot of argument that that premier type of cash flow financing for your business is bank financing - but let's be frank and agree that bank credit is not always available in the amount and nature of what your business needs. Goes without saying that the other attractiveness around bank credit is the fact that it is always the lowest cost of financing vis a vis interest rates, etc.

When you firm is outside the scope of borrowing from Canadian chartered banks what then are the options? The reality is that a large number of commercial finance companies have filled the gap when it comes to alternate cash flow
and working capital solutions.

In many cases you can actually duplicate the style of bank offerings, with the only drawback typically being higher rates. Additionally these offerings tend to be ' asset ' based, focusing on one or a group of assets to provide you with the financing you need. Further comfort comes from the fact that these financings can almost always provide all the capital you need.

It's important to distinguish between working capital needs and debt, as the solutions we're talking about are cash flow focused - i.e. your business operating needs.

Here are the 5 Working Capital Options you may wish to consider for your business:

A/R Financing

Inventory Finance

Asset based business revolving credit facilities

Refundable Tax Credit Financing

PO Financing / Sales Royalty finance


Probably the most popular solution used by thousands of firms is Receivable financing. By immediately cash flowing your sales, at your option, your firm replaces receivables on your balance sheet with cash. As your business grows your facility can be adjusted at any time to increase the amount of borrowing. Advances under this method of financing in fact are even more generous than the bank - typically they are 90% of all receivables under 90 days.

By considering and exploring such options as CONFIDENTIAL RECEIVABLE FINANCING you're in effect mirroring exactly the same type of facility as a bank line of credit. Only the paperwork is different and you're able to bill and collect your own accounts without any notification to any other party. It's ' business as usual ' financing!

Asset based lending, also called ' ABL ' takes your business credit line one step further. It takes into account your A/R, inventory, and equipment and puts these all under one liquid borrowing facility. As we have noted inventory financing is now a part of the borrowing mix! The higher cost of this financing can easily be justified when it comes to covering your operating needs, maintaining relationships with key suppliers and vendors, and of course , job #1 - growing your company.









If you're focused on taking your company to the next level and are currently unable to negotiate traditional bank financing seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success who can assist you on the exploration trip of working capital options for your business.
