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.

SUBPRIME ,, CANADA , AND THE GOVT!

Very interesting article on Subprime today in the Globe and MAIL - See REPORT ON BUSINESS, GLOBE AND MAIL, PAGE 1 - ' LENDERS WANT OTTAWA TO BACK 1 BILLION FUND '

We have all read and heard that Canada for the most part escaped the sub-prime meltdown in the U.S. that appears to have led in large part to the Global financial crisis . Canada does have some sub-prime lenders who for the most part appear to be very well mangaged, two names that come to mind are HOME TRUST and XCEED mtge . The story in the Globe today revolved around a single mothers attempts to save her house, as well as comments from industry players around how these types of mortgages are handled and financed and originated .

The thrust of the article is that lenders want Ottawa to back these type of facilities with a govt sponsored fund, one assumes less people would lose their homes . I continually blog about how the govt should consider backing similar funds for small business financing access . Lets keep the faith .
