Negotiating extended payment terms in a proper documented manner gives you maximum flexibility in key cash outflows.

So what about actual credit solutions to those business cash flow challenges? Canadian chartered banks are quickly become not the only providers of business credit. Although non bank commercial financing solutions will always be more expensive than bank capital and the right non bank lenders are also well focused on building relationships and giving you back some sense of control.

They include:

A/R Financing
Inventory loans
PO/Contract Finance

High sales growth - leaving you highly invested in A/R and inventory - but not cash!
