Business Financing In Canada: Eliminating The Black Holes In Business Finance & Loans

Looking for some Business Financing Therapy?

OVERVIEW – Information on capital financing solutions in Canada. Successful strategies in business finance & corporate loans

Business finance in Canada often has entrepreneur owners/mgrs feeling like they are being thrown into a ' black hole ' - that unique place where things go and aren't retrieved. Not a good feeling. In that case it just might be time for some business therapy. Let's dig in.

From the owners perspective it should be all about being able to as clearly define as possible the amount of funding that is required and how those funds will be used for either short or longer term purposes. Loans and other forms of capital financing come from various sources - knowing where those sources are and what they do will lead to proper business finance success.

The overall relationship between the amounts of debt you carry as well as the amount of owner equity in the business is really the silent driver in biz capital. Talk about a balancing act - where the ultimate goal is to avoid total business failure while at the same time stretching equity and borrowing ability to the maximum reasonable amount.

The interesting challenge in capital financing is that a company gets more return when it has more debt than equity. So we are back to that balancing act again! But don't forget also that while many owners/mgrs have the mindset that debt is undesirable they can also at the same time monetize assets on the balance sheet that will fund a considerable amount of operations and growth.

What are those asset monetization strategies? They include:

PO/Contract financing

A/R / Receivable Financing - (Our recommended solutions is Confidential AR Finance

Non bank asset based lines of credit (For those firms that can't access any or enough bank financing)

Sales Leaseback of owned assets

Tax Credit Financing

Royalty Finance

Unsecured cash flow loans

While alternative finance strategies are becoming more popular every day, as well as more abundant it's also important to note they typically cost more - however it's always a cheaper route than considering new equity/ownership dilution. Quite frankly it might come as a surprise to some but earlier stage and smaller growing companies in the SME Marketplace can probably obtain debt and asset monetization financing easier than new equity!

If you're focused on emerging from that BLACK HOLE

of business financing the right strategy might well be to seek some business financing ' therapy' by talking to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success
