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.

NAVIGATING THE COMPLEX WORLD OF BUSINESS CAPITAL FINANCING - STRATEGIES FOR THE RIGHT FUNDING FOR YOUR BUSINESS

 

Business capital financing in Canada, particularly in the SME COMMERCIAL sector, often comes with that feeling of ' dark days ' for the Canadian business owner/financial manager.

 

Despite those challenges, there are some great reasons to borrow for your business - we'll cover off 3 of them. Let's dig in.

 

UNLOCKING THE SECRETS OF BUSINESS CAPITAL FINANCING

 

When we talk about business capital financing for clients here at 7 Park Avenue Financial, it's all about the various financial solutions that a business has access to for raising capital and funding. That might include traditional bank financing or the more significant number of newer financing solutions in the alternative lending landscape.

 

 

Financing solutions come with benefits and in some cases, drawbacks - so picking the right  Canadian business financing solution is all about choosing the best financing option for your business - allowing you to focus on job #! -  growth! 

We're focusing in on cash flow solutions, working capital financing and debt financing,

 

While it's debatable how great the current business climate is, many firms are nonetheless able to grow their business these days. Business lending from banks, alternative finance and working capital providers, and others seems to rise.

 

3 REASONS TO CONSIDER BUSINESS FINANCE SOLUTIONS TO RUN AND GROW YOUR BUSINESS

 

So why should the owner/manager consider new or enlarged sources of financing?  Here are our three reasons:

 

1. Today's competitive business environment requires continual investment in your business. Very simply speaking - your competitors are there already for their particular working capital needs

 

2. Timing has never been better - Canadian chartered banks tout SME lending, and alternative finance solutions from niche providers have never been more abundant

 

3. Borrowing rates and costs for both traditional and alternative financing are low and competitive, with the consensus being that rates can only go up in the future. Naturally, though, not all business financing is done at locked-in rates

 

 

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA SMALL BUSINESS FINANCING PROGRAM 

 

Even the Canadian federal government is willing to step in, having recently revamped the Government Small Business loan program to a certain degree, which guarantees most of your loan to the banks. The government-guaranteed loan's key advantages are still the same - flexible terms, competitive rates, and the ability to finance equipment (new and used) and leasehold. Companies with less than 10 million in annual or projected revenue can apply.

 

The government loan is not a lump sum cash flow loan or line of credit - it's a term loan with typical repayment amortization in the 2-5 year range. To apply for a small business loan under the government program and discuss eligibility, talk to the 7 Park Avenue Financial team. Thousands of firms like yours use small business government loans every year, and Industry Canada, the program sponsor, allocate billions of dollars to the program. New businesses/startups are frequent users of the program.

 

Companies also can review bdc loan requirements around different financing the Crown Corporation offers.

 

 

HOW TO ACQUIRE THE ASSETS YOU NEED TO  RUN  YOUR BUSINESS

It's often a wise choice  .to utilize equipment financing for new or upgrades in computers, software, telecom equipment, and other application software required by your business. How do you acquire assets without depleting day-to-day working capital - There are some solid solutions in acquiring assets that you need to know about!

You want a solution with repayment terms/ interest payments tied to your needs and designed to help you grow your products or services.
