A Whole New Way To Look At Business Financing In Canada – The New Normal ? !

OVERVIEW – Information on business financing in Canada. Info on what’s new and what hasn’t changed on cash flow and corporate finance loans and funding solutions for small, medium and enterprise companies

 

Business financing in Canada would be a lot easier if your company had a ' made to measure '

solution for the loans and other corporate finance solutions needed to allow a business to survive and grow.

There just might be a whole new way to look at that challenge, in effect a whole new landscape in the capital and funding model you need to run your business. Let's dig in.

That business finance landscape we mentioned is in effect the solutions that are populated by either traditional bank financing as compared to the newer forms of alternative finance solutions. Most new firms look to banks initially to fulfill their loan and cash flow needs. That naturally brings a bit of challenge to the table, given there is a higher risk profile generated in any business that is either new or growing too quickly. (Faster growing businesses use cash, that don't generate it!)

So how does your company address that gap as your business moves from start up to growth to mature? Along the way there will be either temptation or necessity to either take on more debt, or even to sell or merge the business.

One excellent way of addressing the challenge we discuss here is to ensure you're focused on the right timeline in your overall capital and cash flow structure. The ability to avoid times when borrowing has to become ' urgent ' necessitates the need to take on debt and monetize assets when the time is right. As the economy vacillates between strong, weak and crisis the owner/financial mgr challenge is to focus on loan and working capital solutions that are right for the times.

One top expert describes the ability, or should we say ' inability ' of Canadian firms requiring SME COMMERCIAL FINANCE solutions from Canadian chartered banks as, to put it mildly, ' constrained!

How then does the owner/financial mgr address the banking constraint - simply speaking, accessing all the loans and credit line solutions offered by the banks?

Answer? New alternative financing solutions often previously either disregarded or, even worse, unrecognized as being available.

Those alternative solutions? They include:

A/R Financing / Confidential Receivable Financing

Asset based business credit lines

Sale Leasebacks

Govt Guaranteed Small Business Loans (new cap = $ 1,000,000.00)

Tax Credit Financing (primarily SR&ED)

Inventory Loans

Equipment Leasing

Software/Technology Financing Solutions
