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.

Financing Sales : Time Sensitive Methods To The Right Business Loans To Finance Your Company






Breaking News : Financing Sales Challenges Explained Once And For All







OVERVIEW – Information on financing sales revenue challenges for Canadian companies. Business loans and asset finance strategies allow you to ‘ do more’













Financing sales growth
is ' time sensitive ' if only for the reason that the majority of business owners/mgrs want to do that now - not at some point down the road. What type of business loans and asset monetizing strategies work best when your focus is ' growth - faster the better!' Right or wrong very slow or nonexistent growth often has companies stagnating. The fix? Let's dig in.

The ability to finance revenue growth is in truth a two edged sword. That's also where business financing challenges come in. And the options you have basically come down to three choices -


New owner equity
- usually difficult, costly, and undesirable

Taking on Debt
- has to be the right debt

Monetizing your assets
- a preferred strategy if done properly

Larger more sophisticated companies have already figured out the magic formula. They call that ' sustainable growth models ' and are constantly looking for the right amount of leverage they can take on. Those formulas measure profits, how assets are turned over, and what amount of business debt won't topple the firm. Those larger companies also want to take out cash regularly in the form of paying out to owners or shareholders.

Those same tools are also available of course to businesses seeking SME COMMERCIAL FINANCE options. These smaller firms toil daily in the real world to grow sales, stay in business, and pay bills. They are more often than not also looking for outside financing to manage those 3 challenges.

Clients we meet searching for sales financing strategies come down basically into two categories - ' bankable'... or ' unbankable'.
Which one is your firm? If your firm is bankable it's critical you can demonstrate profits, acceptable debt rations, outside collateral and 'reasonable' high growth.

Thousands of firms in the small/ medium sector of Canada's economy find themselves ' unbankable' to the extent they have no bank financing, or limited. Many owners/managers feel that the big corporations seem to be favorited. Top experts in one study said that 1/3 of all SME businesses don't have the financing they need - 65% of owners/mgrs saying financing new sales is ' difficult'.

The solution? More often than not its ' alternative lending' - a broad category of the new Canadian business financing landscape that covers many niche players offering unique forms of financing.

Those financing solutions? They include:

A/R financing credit lines

Asset based non bank full credit lines (sales growth generates receivables and inventories which can be easily financed)

SR&ED tax credit financing

Leaseback loans on existing owned assets

Inventory Finance

Purchase Order Financing

Sales/Royalty Financing

Govt guaranteed loan program


The challenge becomes knowing how these solutions work and identifying which one is for your firm.

Because many owners/mgrs in the Canadian business financing marketplace aren’t familiar with all these options it's often best to seek the services of a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can assist you with ' engineering ' the right solution to finance your firms growth .
