Growth Finance Options In Canada : Financing Business Expansion Without A Trip To Dismaland

Removing The Term Remote Chances From Your Growth Financing Prospects! Trip To Dismaland Not required!

OVERVIEW – Information on financing business expansion for Canadian business owners/mgrs. Growth finance comes with numerous options and it is important to understand benefits and implications

Financing business expansion in Canada doesn’t necessarily have to seem a remote reality when it comes to growth finance options available to the Canadian business owner/financial mgr. In fact, having worked with hundreds of clients over the years we're quite sure that journey for proper business finance solutions may well seek like a trip to ‘Dismaland’.

Dismaland? Check it out. For those not familiar it’s somewhat of a perverse real world play on Disney's famous theme park, only with a sinister note. But we digress, so let's dig in.

When your firm is at the stage where you wish to expand, especially when it comes to SME COMMERCIAL FINANCE options (small to medium sized enterprises in Canada) it might seem not that obvious where capital will come from.

Business owners/financial managers have, right or wrong, focused on ' banks' and ‘venture capital/angel investors' in many cases. Suffice to say that there are numerous options, (including some ' internal ' ones) that will allow you to handle new orders, acquire a competitor, or get your business quickly out of the gate if you're a start up. Some may be willing to give up ownership equity via a partner or silent partner arrangement.

Bank credit lines are a good example of financing your expansion plans. If your company qualifies (established, profitable, collateral worthy, etc) it's a solid option. In fact we just saw a TV commercial saying banks want your business.

The alternative to a bank credit line facility is the 'ABL'. It's an ' asset based' line of credit that combines your receivables, inventory and equipment into one borrowing base you draw from daily... only as needed '

Those other financing options? It boils down to assessing internally when and why you need the funding. Those options, when it isn’t from Canadian chartered banks are satisfied by commercial lenders who offer a variety of growth options.

For those firms that have built an asset based business the SALE LEASEBACK option is a solid growth capital tool. You still keep and use the assets, and acquire them back over a lease to own strategy - thereby freeing up cash through that process. Typically an appraisal will be required.

The bottom line? Focus on whether you're prepared to take on ‘debt’... or give up ' equity ‘. And by the way, growth can also be generated internally simply by pricing your product and services properly with good margins, and ensuring asset turnover in A/R and inventories is optimal.

A trip to ' DISMALAND'

is not a requirement when you want to grow your business. Seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success
