Looking to Enhance The Power Of Business Financing ?
OVERVIEW – Information on business financing in Canada. Numerous debt and cash flow solutions are available for your company finance strategy
Business financing in Canada probably can deliver on more options that most owners/financial mgrs might be aware of. The truth is some of these options are ' external ' and some might be surprisingly ' internal ‘. Let's dig in.
Taking on some business debt, or monetizing/cash flowing assets you already have (receivables/ inventory/ equipment) is the alternative to bringing more equity into your company. Yes, you don't have to repay equity but to the current ownership is simply a devaluation of what is currently a growing asset - your business! So while equity and new share capital is not selling all of your business, you're certainly selling a part of it.
That brings us back to external business financing solutions, which of course have a cost and risk to some degree. A preferred solution for many companies is the business revolving line of credit. That comes from one of two sources - A Canadian chartered bank, or alternatively a commercial finance company that is independent and unregulated as the banks are.
Those two types of credit line both give you liquidity and don’t add additional debt to your balance sheet. If managed and accessed properly those credit facilities grow as does your sales and asset base.
How can the owner/financial mgr increase cash flow ' internally '? The most obvious manner should be to accelerate your receivable collections. By the way, either the bank or commercial finance company will always be more impressed if your A/R is in good shape!
Don't forget also that you can bring in cash by postponing cash... outflows! How do you do that? Simply by managing payables more effectively, using long term asset acquisition strategies such as equipment leasing to acquire new assets, technology, software, etc.
Inventory is often a large component of many a firms overall asset base - certainly in the case of retailers. They can almost always be included in business credit lines as part of your overall financing strategy, but inventories can also be financed via inventory loans, and also as part of a purchase order financing solution.
Types of term debt and cash flow solutions available to your firm might include:
A/R financing
Revolving credit lines
Govt Small Business Guaranteed Loans
Royalty Financing
Unsecured cash flow loans
SR ED tax credit financing
Sale leasebacks
