Financing & Corporate Loan Success : Beating the Odds In Business Cash Flow Solutions

May The Force ( Of Business Cash Flow ) Be With You

OVERVIEW – Information on how owners/mgrs can assess business cash flow needs . Financing and corporate loan success depends on the understanding around certain internal and external ‘ forces ‘

Financing business cash flow requires that your company is in a position to beat the odds of the many firms that can't or don't know how to access corporate loan or asset monetization. In fact there are key' forces ' in business finance that affect how you'll grow sales and profits. So... may the force be with you! Let's dig in.

The classic scenario of your sales and profits not equaling cash in the bank is in fact the key ' opportunity ' the owner/ financial mgr has to turn their cash flow around. Your ability to buy needed assets is also key.

So what in fact are those forces that need to be addressed? One top expert lists them as follows, and these should always be considered when addressing business financing challenges and opportunities:

Keeping your tax obligations up to date

Ensuring you have the right amount of (good) debt and that your company can repay it

Ensuring you have day to day working capital availability

Solid mgmt of those areas of your business will allow owners and stakeholders to either increase the value of their company or take mgmt dividends, bonuses, salaries, and other distributions.

For assets you need to purchase there is no better strategy than utilizing equipment lease financing. The ability to avoid hefty down payments or to save your line of credit for daily operating needs is key.

Many firms like to ensure they have several months of cash, or cash availability on hand to meet future debt and growth scenarios. That type of solid planning allows you to make the right choices in your business, as opposed to reactive measures which often end up with wrong financing and loan decisions being made.

Business owners should also try and separate their personal financial life from their business as much as possible as it relates to personal guarantees, business credit card debt, etc. The bottom line you want to keep both your ' business cash cow ' and your ' personal cash cow ' healthy.

The concept of real ' operating cash flow ' is critical for owners and financial managers to understand. It starts with your profits at the end of the month and then adding in all the changes that take place in 3 categories- Receivables, Payables and Inventory.

Remember also there are two types of debt, loans, and operating facilities, the ability to use each one properly is key to your business success.

If you're looking to properly manage those ' forces' of cash flow it key to understand when certain types of key business financing solutions will work for your firm. They include:

Bank credit lines

Non bank asset based lines or credit

A/R financing

Inventory loans

Equipment finance / sale leasebacks

SR&ED tax credit financing
