Business Credit Line Access – A Solution Nobody Told You About
OVERVIEW – Information on business lines of credit in Canada. The lesser known alternative ‘ ABL ‘ solution is the asset lending fix for working capital needs
Business lines of credit are one of the most solid tools to help companies grow revenues and hopefully...profits. Asset lending , known as ' ABL is the credit line that may in fact give you ' full time' assistance to cover your working capital and cash flow needs. Let's dig in.
The necessity for ongoing cash requirements has business owners always looking ahead to how their business can remain ' liquid’. They are looking for that cushion of help when they really need it. Companies seeking SME Commercial Finance understand very quickly that the bias of banks seems to lean towards larger corporations - while they toil to source financial resources to meet growth needs.
As we have said in the past, thousands of firms in Canada find themselves ' underbanked’. That situation forces them to look at alternatives to traditional Canadian bank financing.
In some case clients we meet are in fact being asked to, shall we say, ' exit ' their bank relationship. At the other end of the spectrum the company is growing so fast traditional financing is unable to meet the needs. In both these cases Asset Based lending offers the solution, albeit almost always at a higher cost and terms.
Those companies wishing to return to prosperity though must consider all options, and the ABL credit line, typically from a non bank commercial finance company is almost always the way out. Naturally some planning is required along the way, including hopefully cash flow and sales projections.
In the majority of cases, ( but not all ) Asset line of credit lenders are looking at ' tougher/more difficult' transactions Here they are focusing on the true collateral in the business - inventory, receivables, fixed assets, and of course sales prospects. In some cases business owners are looking to dramatically increase the ' personal guarantee' aspect of their current financing arrangements.
In almost all cases asset based lines of credit offer ' flexibility ‘. Owners and mgrs utilizing the asset based credit line are focusing on growing the company and ' righting the ship ' from a financial perspective. In some cases these credit facilities can easily finance a merger or acquisition. The real competitiveness in the ABL market today allows companies to choose from a number of firms offering this facility.
