Is Your Cash Flow Financing Like A Bouncy Castle On A Patchy Power Supply?

OVERVIEW – Information on financing cash flow from sales in Canada . Managing business asset finance to make your company financially secure

Financing cash flow needs for Canadian businesses must often have many business owners/financial mgrs feeling as if they’re on a ' bouncy castle with a patchy power supply'! Talk about insecurity. When it comes to business asset finance it's all about ensuring you understand how your firms cash flow relates to your sales cycle. Let's dig in.

Do you really know where you cash flow and working capital comes from? Essentially it’s either from your balance sheet - i.e. your business credit lines and the amount of owner equity on your balance sheet. That is then complemented by the cash you generate from your sales cycle. Here it's about asset turnover and the proper financing of those assets - i.e. inventories, receivables, and fixed assets.

Your ability turn revenues into cash is all about timing and will ultimately determine the success of your business. Strong asset turnover will also limit the amount of borrowing you require in the areas of monetizing your assets or financing new equipment/technology needs.

So how much cash do you need to run your business? We could defer to our lawyer for an answer (' Well.. it depends') ,

but instead we'll say that it is in fact relatively easy to both understand , and plan your cash flow needs.

So how then does your revenue affect how you manage, and finance cash flow needs. Simply speaking any delays in the entire sales cycle (we’re talking from sale to collection of your goods/services) will slow down your cash flow. In effect, until you collect your money from clients you are a ' consumer' of cash, not a ' generator '.

There are 3 areas you need to focus on to ensure maximum cash flow and minimizing cash flow finance needs:

Solid financial controls around credit extension/collection

Understanding your client base - re payment discounts, terms, etc

Knowing which finance solution (Traditional or alternative) works best for your firm


These solutions include:

A/R Financing
Inventory loans
Lease financing/ sale leasebacks
Tax Credit Monetization ( sr&ed )
Business credit lines - bank or non bank revolving facilities
Royalty finance

Ensure you understand how these work what amt of financing they deliver on, what covenants or guarantees are required, etc
