Debt Financing In Canada : A Simple Formula For Your Business Loan Needs

These Right Debt Finance Solutions Strengthen Your Business

OVERVIEW – Information on debt financing solutions in Canada. Business loan needs are discussed via proper assessment of borrowing options

Debt financing choices can help to both strengthen... or hinder your business. Is there some sort of formula for debt and asset financing? Several tools as well as a basic knowledge of your business finance needs come into play. Let's dig in.

So when in fact does the business owner/financial manager use ' debt ' to run and grow the business? The answer? Ensure you understand the mechanics of a debt solution, knowing which bank or non bank lenders offer the financing you need... and ensuring you've explored all options, up to and including govt loans.

In the majority of cases as it relates to business financing you require assets and or assets/cash flow to support a debt transaction. The assets that you need to support debt financing are varied - equipment, real estate, inventories and receivables.

Most business owners associate a debt finance business loan with fixed payments and term. When it comes to acquiring specific assets they can be secured via either a term loan, or a capital lease - both are forms of debt finance. The essence of those transactions is very clear:

An interest rate
A fixed term
A Monthly payment
Securitizing the collateral in question

Various forms of debt finance current assets such as receivables, inventories, and purchase orders. These include:

A/R Financing / Invoice Discounting/Factoring/ Confidential Receivables Finance

Inventory lines of credit

Refundable Tax Credit Financing (SR&ED Claims)

Bank and non bank business revolving credit lines

3 rather ' tricky' issues will almost always arise and need to be considered when entering into various forms of debt financing. Those issues are ' personal guarantees ', covenants, and dealing with other secured creditors.

In the SME COMMERCIAL FINANCE sector almost all transactions tend to be supported by some level of personal guarantees from owners. Those business owners that enjoy bank financing or other forms of senior secured lending must be prepared to deal with the priority positions of other creditors when it comes to financing assets. Debt lenders, with the exception of equipment lessors will also typically impose ' ratios and covenants ‘around your overall financial performance.

The good news around achieving the right business loan via debt financing is that there have never been more choices and alternatives available. Lenders include of course Canadian banks, but also commercial finance firms, asset based lenders, equipment lessors, bridge loan lenders, and online ' niche ' providers.

If you're focused on running / growing your company with the right amount of debt financing for now and the future seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success who can assist you in ensuring you've got the right formula down for your borrowing needs.
