Looking For A Backup Plan In Business Finance?
OVERVIEW – Information on business finance solutions in Canada . Working capital and cash flow financing needs will almost always require a backup plan in order to perfect the financing you need to grow your business. Here is why and what solutions are available
Business finance solutions for your company often require a ' backup plan'. Why? Simply because when it comes to working capital and cash flow financing needs there is almost never enough. How then does the owner/mgr/entrepreneur perfect those requirements? Let's dig in.
Similar to consumer debt it should be no secret that there’s good 'debt' and ' bad ' debt. In your company there is only so much equity in the business, and in many cases it's either impractical or impossible to acquire more debt given that the financing interest can't be supported. That's the whole concept of successfully understanding ' leverage ' - i.e. knowing how much borrowing your company can take on... before failing.
The good news about the ' right' financing solutions for your business is that they allow you to grow sales and profits outside of your current capital base. It's safe to say that companies that can both grow, and control their growth are the perfect target for all sorts of business finance solutions that make sense.
What are some of those financial solutions? They include:
A/R Financing
Inventory Loans
Bank revolving credit facilities
Non bank asset based lines of credit
PO Financing
Royalty finance
Unsecured cash flow loans
Equipment Financing/sale leasebacks
Commercial mortgages
Many different companies require financing that's most suited to their industry. Capital intensive firms that require large amounts of asset financing are different than service companies who have a small or no asset base.
That whole issue of debt versus equity is also a key part of the whole business banking equation in Canada. Companies that can't meet the typical debt to equity ratios that banks insist on are forced to consider alternative forms of financing - the good news being that those are more abundant and creative every day.
While our Canadian banks are reluctant to let your debt to equity ratios go the wrong way alternative lenders focus on assets and asset monetization. A good example? That would be the Asset based line of credit, commonly called ' ABL’ in the industry. That credit facility takes your inventory, receivables, as well as fixed assets and combines those three asset categories together into one ' borrowing base ‘, based on their real values . Almost 99% of the time this type of facility can easily double your current bank credit lines, or provide full cash flow financing when you have no operating loan .
Does your business have a backup plan and clear line of sight
who can help you perfect those arrangements.
