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.

Asset Based Finance Solutions In Canada: Financing Via Business Loans That Make Sense !

















Asset Based Lending Canada




Asset based lenders have the ability to remove many of the challenges faced by business owners and financial mgrs. in Canada. We're examining the abl loan as a method to fund operations and growth.


Most top experts in Canadian business financing consider asset based lending a different form of funding your company - the other end of the spectrum being traditional chartered bank financing.

How is traditional bank financing different from an ABL Loan ? Simply because the entire focus is pretty well on specific assets that essentially give more borrowing power against 4 asset categories, either one of those or in combination.


Asset Categories


Accounts Receivable

Inventory

Fixed assets/equipment ( Must be assets that your firm owns outright )

Real estate - if applicable

Purchase Order financing can also be considered a subset of solutions offered via an ABL lending company in Canada.


Depending on what business and industry your firm is in you're either top heavy in one or more of those asset categories, or perhaps not at all. Service based companies traditionally utilize a/r and contract financing via the asset finance offering.


What then is the key benefit to asset based finance business loans and financing solutions? To put it simply:


FASTER ACCESS TO CASH!


Traditional financing forces you to address key issues such as what your balance sheet looks like, as well as focusing on historical, present, and future cash flow/projections. Your company may not necessarily have what it takes there, or in some cases, you're newer in business or even a start up. We point out that it always helps if you have a business plan and cash flow readily prepared.


A lot of companies that utilize asset based ' ABL ' lending solutions in Canada have a lot of seasonality or ' bulges' in their business cash flow needs. The ability to therefore rely on your ongoing asset base really helps smooth out those bulges!


While personal guarantees are almost always an issue for the business owner we can say that this type of guarantee, considered ' valuable ' or a ' must ' in banking circles has much smaller or no emphasis on asset based lending. Additionally, true asset based finance deals are pure asset monetization.


1. No debt on the balance sheet

2. There is no equity give up - Growing companies can maximize shareholder return without giving up equity when it is most valuable


We do need to mention though that while some consider ABL cash flow solutions as their ' holy grail ' in business cash flow financing you must be able to properly report on assets or be willing to go thru some form of appraisal process when it comes to adding inventories, fixed assets, or real estate.



ABL lenders, mostly commercial non bank lenders, rely heavily on the true marketability and value of your company asset base in the asset categories we have mentioned

ABL asset finance can also be used as an integral part of the financing to purchase a business when you or your company has targeted an acquisition that requires specific financing outside traditional norms
