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.

Bank Loans & Alternative Business Funding In Canada








Alternative Business Funding Via Non Bank Loan Solutions





Alternative business funding allows many smaller firms to.. get big! For both sales growth and profit margins it's essential to have the proper business financing in place - most business owners and financial mgrs recognize that.


Is the bank the only option . Categorically no, although most business owners for whatever reason view the bank as the only solution - only to be rejected for a variety of reasons, one of which is actually ' size ' believe it or note . While our Canadian chartered banks do a great job in helping to finance large firms they have numerous criteria in place that your firm might not be able to meet.

Banks often focus significantly , especially in the SME sector ( small and medium enterprise ) on the personal credit history of owners and principals. They look for solid and high credit bureau scores , and low scores can impact your firms ability to get a loan.


Alternative funding sources allow business owners to position the business as the major reason to achieve credit approval. Business funding alternatives become more accessible in alternative finance because it's the business under the microscope , not so much the owners.

In some cases banks might even determine an entire industry, example oil , autos etc may for a time be... ' out of favor ' . Canadian business history has plenty of examples of that. Occasionally banks might deem that a major customer of your firm actually creates a 'concentration ' risk.

In today's environment business capital for cannabis firms is in high demand. Banks have been reluctant to address all facets of cannabis financing , although this has ' slowly ' , and we do mean ' slowly ' changing . Alternative funding sources, via non bank commercial finance companies provides finance solutions .

Cash flow is a major factor in assessing business loan potential . Business owners and their financial mgrs should be positioned to address the ins and outs of cash flow, ie sales growth, seasonality, collections, payables mgt etc . Many alternative funding solutions allow you to grow revenues when traditional bank financing is not available .



Solutions for More Business Capital Via Alternative Business Funding Companies


Non bank receivable financing

Inventory financing

Purchase Order Finance

Non bank asset based business credit lines

Tax Credit Financing

Sale leaseback of owned assets


We think you get the picture and you don't necessarily have to take on ' debt ' to address capital and cash flow needs, as many of our above noted solutions simply monetize assets or sales.

Be prepared when you are approaching an alternative business funder - financials, a business plan and info on current lenders is a great start.

Bottom line ? Your business has lots of funding options, traditional and alternative . Seek out a speak to trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor with a track record of success.
