The Rise..And Continuing Rise Of A/R Finance Solutions In Canada
OVERVIEW – Information on business factoring in Canada. Financing receivables is an accepted way of ensuring your company can satisfy critical cash flow needs . Understanding how a/r finance works, what it costs , and how it can benefit your business is important
The main reason? It's a case of a common sense approach to improving cash flow and working capital without taking on any debt and at the same time allowing your firm to grow without traditional type financing that might be difficult, or in some cases, impossible to achieve.
A lot has changed in the part of alternative financing, including rates / costs that have improved a great deal!
Clients ask us what risk or cost is involved in locking into a one year contract - the reality is that most firms considering factoring (also known as receivable financing, receivables discounting) actually do stay with this type of facility for at least a year. Firms that factor their accounts receivable usually have two options at the end of a one year fixed term - either move to a competitive factor facility, or in some cases migrate back to or achieve traditional Canadian chartered bank line of credit financing.
Never any doubt that traditional bank financing always has the lower rate, the reality is that it in many cases does not provide you with the amount of working capital you need if you are in high growth mode. Alternatively you may also have trouble meeting some of the bank ratio and covenant guidelines that come with those very respectable bank facilities.
We point out always to customers that the largest corporations in Canada and the U.S. in some cases also use A/R financing type facilities - it simply gives your firm, as well as the large firms, maximum leverage on working capital without taking on debt.
.
The amount of your factoring facility and the rate it commands is dependent on three issues -
1 The general overall risk profile of your firm - re growth, profitability, type of industry etc
2. The size of your total receivables
3. The overall customer quality or credit worthiness of your customer base
If you are having financial or growth challenges it is generally not recommended by finance people that you take on more debt - factoring solves this problem nicely - you are simply liquidating your receivables faster without borrowing .
