Is Your Firm Just Surviving Without The Right Financial Solutions?

OVERVIEW – Information on business finance in Canada. Choosing the right debt financing and cash flow solutions for your companies helps guarantee business success

Business finance in Canada still relies a lot on the old days. If that's how owners and financial mgrs look at things these days they just might be surprised at the amount of debt financing and cash flow solutions available if you're aware of the criteria and how they work. Let's dig in.

Again going back to those old days the lending model for companies place a high reliance on your ability to prove cash flow as what our good bankers call ' primary source of repayment'.

The good news?

Many new techniques have emerged over the last number of years that allow your firm to access capital. It's a combination of new lending solutions combined with technologies and techniques that allow a lot more flexibility loan and cash flow solutions.

What we're talking about could well be described as ‘transactional lending' ; loans and cash flow monetization strategies that focus on your assets and less reliant on what traditional bank lending tends to be focused on . That focus historically has been ratios and covenants, debt load, gross margins, etc. Those are all important but any deviation in those will often lead to severe credit limitations on your firms borrowing ability.

Many smaller transactions , especially in the SME COMMERCIAL FINANCE space in fact utilize some quick ' credit scoring ' techniques that could quickly have your firm borrowing up to several hundred thousand dollars Bank borrowing traditionally has been based on ' relationships' with your bank and a fair amount of contact over time.

We never under emphasize with our clients the ongoing need to be able produce timely financial statement and asset reporting data, typically aged payables, receivables, inventory lists, etc.

It's critical to understand that most financing solutions should typically be matched to a direct need. A basic list of financing solutions available to almost every business includes:

A/R Financing/ Confidential receivable finance

Inventory Loans

Tax Credit Bridge Loans (Typically SR&ED)

Sale Leasebacks

Asset based business credit lines

Unsecured cash flow loans

Govt Guaranteed Small Business Loans (maximum to $ 1,000,000.00)
