WELCOME !

Thanks for dropping in for some hopefully great business info and on occasion some hopefully not too sarcastic comments on the state of Business Financing in Canada and what we are doing about it !

In 2004 I founded 7 PARK AVENUE FINANCIAL. At that time I had spent all my working life, at that time - Over 30 years in Commercial credit and lending and Canadian business financing. I believe the commercial lending landscape has drastically changed in Canada. I believe a void exists for business owners and finance managers for companies, large and small who want service, creativity, and alternatives.

Every day we strive to consistently deliver business financing that you feel meets the needs of your business. If you believe as we do that financing solutions and alternatives exist for your firm we want to talk to you. Our purpose is simple: we want to deliver the best business finance solutions for your company.

Business Cash Flow Financing In Canada : Your Call Of Duty To Your Company ?













Is Your Company Staying Afloat When It Comes To Business Cash Flow Needs & Financing Solutions You Require?



OVERVIEW – Information on cash flow financing solutions for Canadian companies . Your company needs cash flow for business growth and profits





Business cash flow needs have us all in agreement, right? We need it to stay afloat? That's much better than the sinking option!

These days business cash flow financing needs is pretty well right near the top of your worry pile. We're going to cover off measuring the problem, and fixing the problem via traditional and alternative finance solutions. Let's dig in.
Oh, and by the way, alternative is fast becoming traditional, but more about that later!

In talking to clients about business financing and business cash flow we always get the distinct impression they feel their business is unique - and that may be so but the truth of the matter is that the cash flow financing challenges you face are being faced by everyone else in and out of your industry.

You're forgiven for thinking your business cash flow financing challenges are unique, probably because of the mix. What do we mean by the mix? Simply that each h company and industry has difference levels of inventory, receivables, payables, all of which factor uniquely into the working capital challenge. That creates different challenges at different times.

In fact, whether you like it or not, about 80%, yes 80% of all you assets are in receivables, inventory, and to some extent prepaid. That's for most firms, unless perhaps you're in a service oriented business only.

Your ability to ' turnover' these assets is what makes your business successful, or not.

Each industry has different gross margins, and if you have great gross margins then you can withstand a bit less turnover that is required in inventory and receivables. If you are in a low gross margin business turnover is absolutely critical. And you measure that turnover by three key metrics, inventory turns, days sales outstanding or collection turnover, and finally days payable outstanding.

Turnover drives working capital and many business owners kind of know that, but more often than not aren't focusing on improving that turnover.

So, staying afloat. There are a number of cash flow financing solutions that allow you to address cash flow financing for your business. If it was a perfect world (apparently it's not) you would have all the liquidity you need from you bank, but bank financing is always a challenge for business, and in many cases inventory is not part of the financing mix that is available.


There are some great cash flow for business solutions available to help you succeed in Canadian business financing.
That includes:

Financing receivables

Business credit lines from banks or commercial asset based lending

SR&ED Tax Credit Financing

Working Capital Cash Term Loans

Sale Leaseback financing


Most business owners don't know they can access cash flow financing via the financing of Purchase Orders (p o' s) and contracts. They allow you to consider orders significantly higher than you could have ever handled in the past.
And, finally firms with relatively good financial standing can access unsecured cash flow working capital term loans via non bank lenders.
So what’s it all about. We think we have been fairly clear, and hope you agree. It's about understanding your cash flow financing challenges, measuring them via the turnover of working capital accounts, and finally, accessing any one of the number of solutions we have provided.

Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor as to what makes sense for your firm.
