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 Financing ? Check Out The Bank Credit Line Alternative










Alternative Lending Can Provide Your Company With The Business Financing You Need




A bank credit line alternative can be found via asset based financing solutions for Canadian businesses. Additionally, this type of capital for business offers many reasons for owners/financial managers to consider an alternative for a small business line of credit in Canada. We're discussing some of those reasons. Let's dig in.

The Business Credit Line Alternative


The ability to borrow the maximum you can under an asset based financing credit facility is a key part of the attractiveness of ' ABL ‘loans - in particular the revolving line of credit option. Those selected assets include almost always: Receivables, Inventory and Fixed Assets. Alternative lenders tend to be experts in looking at all your business assets so as to maximize borrowing power.



Alternative lending also has the ability to differ from traditional bank finance - Note also that potentially you can include real estate and in some cases even your intellectual property if either of those applies to your company.

Those latter two are more rare additions to your borrowing, but they are there. Interest rates are almost always higher in asset based credit line revolving facilities, but they offer a financial alternative to small and medium sized businesses who are unable to borrow some or all of the capital they need to fund operations and grow the business via ongoing working capital needs.



The best way we describe asset-based credit line loans is simply that they bundle your assets into borrowing power, with less emphasis on the overall credit quality that our banks focus on as it pertains to balance sheet quality, cash flow, and profit/loss history. Compared to other types of financing, most commonly the bank revolver, this solution almost always delivers significantly more borrowing power.

What Are ABL Line Of Credit Requirements ?

ABL loans are offered by commercial lenders who in some cases even have significant expertise in your industry as it's been their niche. But at the end of the day every asset based lender focuses on the overall asset evaluation and the ability of you to report on regular basis those assets.

That is often easily accomplished by reports that include aged receivables, aged payables, inventory lists, etc. We suggest to clients that if you can't supply those basics you probably have other problems!!

Asset based credit lines also distinguish themselves via ' flexibility ' - It's all about providing a finance solution that is focused on any complexity in your business and industry.

Types Of Alternative Lending In Canada

Remember also that another key difference here is that whole bank credit facilities from our Chartered banks tend to offer fixed upper limits and are reviewed almost always on an annual basis.

ABL credit lines can easily fluctuate with your sales levels, with increases in borrowing power most often easily accomplished as seasonality and sales bulges occur in your business. Many firms gravitate to asset based lending lines for the sole reason that is allows them to take on larger business, new contracts, etc.

Thousands of firms are checking into the asset based financing alternative - it's about flexibility, specialization, and increased liquidity.

Alternative finance requires special insights into your business needs, so it is recommended that you seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor with a track record of business finance success who can assist you with your borrowing needs.

ABL Asset Based Finance













How To Recognize These Early Warning Signs For Your Need for The New Paradigm In Revolving Lines Of Credit






ABL asset based finance can be the solution for business revolving lines of credit when your current finance strategy isn't working. And what are those early warning signs? They include situations where your financing currently just isn’t working due to financial challenges you have experienced in the past. They also include acquisition scenarios, turnarounds, and the proverbial double edged sword, high growth.

The simple reality is that although the ABL credit lines have essentially the same goal they in fact get to that goal line in a very different manner. Both the chartered bank facility as well as the ABL line provide you with a bridge for financing from the time you receive customer payments while all the while generating expenses.

Receivables are often the primary component of an ABL strategy. The ABL facility is not capped, so as your sales grow so can the facility, it’s as simple as that. All of this might seem similar to a bank solution, so whets the real difference. One is in fact margining, in that asset based lines of credit, with respect to the a/r component, are usually margined at 90% - typically the bank is at 75%. Although the reporting is generally stricter with ABL the reality is that the tradeoff is significant, you can borrow more and are not focused on staying within any pre set credit limit.

Many clients we talk to don't understand the daily mechanics of how the asset based lender operates given they are not a bank. (The ABL is generally not a bank, but it actually can be sometimes). The typical way this is handled is via a separate blocked account where all the deposits you receive are handled separately from your operating account. Simply speaking you get money from the ABL via your operating account, and your receipts go into the other account. Naturally both accounts are fluctuating all the time.

While some of these terms and the actual ABL facility itself might seem ' new ' the reality is that this type of financing has been happening for decades in the U.S. and is enjoying more popularity everyday. In effect it has become ' mainstream'.

While we have focused on receivables as one component of the ABL strategy the other parts are inventory, equipment, and even real estate. All of these are neatly combined into one revolving facility, enhancing your overall borrowing power. The fact that they are margined at much higher rates than a chartered bank facility simply becomes a ' win ' for your firm.

While banks focus on profits and cash flow, which sometimes are difficult to achieve! the ABL asset based finance revolving lines of credit focus on Assets! Therefore typical bank requirements such as debt to equity, tangible net worth, cash flow coverage, etc simply don’t apply in ABL finance.

ABL can cost more (it can also cost less by the way), and as we noted it require more reporting to your ABL partner. However, if it can provide solutions to growth, turnaround, acquisition, and survival we think it certainly merits your investigation. Often times the higher price of the facility can easily be offset by proper usage of funds to generate profits and savings.

Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor if you with to look at the new paradigm in business line of credit.

Early Warning Signs You Need A Canadian ABL Asset Based Finance Facility Line Of Credit












Information on ASSET BASED FINANCING



As a business owner or financial manager you want to be able to ensure that a business line of credit has the ability to assist your firm before, during and after serious financial challenges occur. That's where the ABL asset based finance facility comes in.
In a perfect world (we know it's not) you want to be able to detect financial challenges, understand why they happen, and then implement a solution to avoid them. Understanding the problem (or problems) allows you to make the difficult decisions to continue your business successfully.

So what kind of problems can in fact your business run into. From our experience some are obvious and others not so obvious. And more importantly is there one specific business strategy; in our case today the ABL asset based line of credit that can in fact help you execute the turnaround.

There are probably 5 major early warning signs that your firm might need an alternative financing solution.
So what are some of those early warning signals? They are as follows:

1. Too much short term debt
2. You're trapped in a vicious cash flow cycle
3. You've accumulated current assets that have little or no value (example: obsolete inventories, poor receivables)
4. Your investment in fixed assets has put a major strain on your liquidity
5. Your firm is trying to find itself as it struggles to makes sales projections without the proper assets and financing to back up that growth


So whether your company has purposely created some of these challenges or whether external market forces have the good news in fact is there is a solution, and the one we are recommending today is the ABL facility. It's a business line of credit like no other.
The ABL business line of credit differs from a bank facility in that you have the ability to margin, at very solid levels your current and fixed assets, all in the form of a revolving business line of credit.

Typically the liquidity provided by this facility gives you access to much more cash flow and working capital, and at the same time isn't punishing your firm by forcing you to totally focus on meeting ratios, covenants, and even provide outside collateral.


That is to say the ABL revolver facility allows you to continue to operate, probably with much more liquidity in spit of your capital structure, your historical challenges or financial losses, etc.

In Canada ABL facilities are typically provided by non regulated commercial finance firms. The ultimate irony we've observed over the years is that the Canada's chartered banks themselves, recognizing limitations of traditional facilities, have themselves even ventured into this ' non- bank ' financing idea. Now that's business irony.



If you want a solid insight into some of the early warning signs that your current financing strategies aren't working speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor about the possible solution to those upcoming or existing challenges.

The Only Disadvantage Of Factoring Receivables And Why Confidential Accounts Receivable Finance Works!







Use Confidential Invoice Financing as your Best Cash Flow Tool



Information on financing receivables . Receivable finance solutions such as Confidential Invoice Discounting are a solid way to enhance cash flow when unlimited amounts of traditional financing aren't available



Looking for a creative, ‘outside the box’ Canadian business financing solution? You may have investigated factoring receivables already but either didn’t understand how accounts receivable financing works, or, probably more to the point weren’t comfortable with how it works for your firm on a daily basis.

We've got the perfect solution for those worries, and its called confidential receivable financing, in Europe its more commonly known as C I D, confidential invoice discounting .

Let's examine why this type of business financing works in general, and then let's focus in on why our solution makes a solid solution even better.

In general terms when you 'factor ' your receivables you essentially sell them to the factoring firm. That can be done on a one of basis, on a periodic basis, or all the time. That’s one of the key advantages of this type of financing, you only use what you need, and... More importantly, you only pay for what you use!

Paying for what you use in accounts receivable financing is key because factoring, in general terms can be a more expensive type of financing. We say ' can be ' because quite frankly if you use it properly it actually could be a cheaper method of financing than your bank. That's a point our clients are always amazed at when we discuss this type of Canadian business financing.

The cost of factoring receivables can be significantly offset, or in some cases removed completely by your firm using these funds to take supplier discounts and purchase more efficiently and at better prices .

And... Think about this carefully, if you can finance your receivable the days you issue the invoice (that’s what factoring does) then you are in a position to generate funds to sell more products and services to your customers, generating additional margins and profits.

Or, of course, you could take the non factoring approach and wait for your customers to pay you in 30, 60, or... dare we say it, 90 days. And that hasn’t worked for you in the past, which is why you are looking for a better solution.
So lets examine how factoring works, and lets get you over the hump, so to speak, on why our preferred type of accounts receivable financing is confidential invoice discounting .


When you generate an invoice under a factoring receivables agreement you receive 90% of the invoice in the form of immediate funds the same day. The other 10% is a holdback, and is remitted back to you promptly when you customer pays, less the financing charges, which are typically 1.5 - 2% for a 30 day period.

In 99% of traditional factoring arrangements the factor company verifies your invoice with your customer and actually collects it. Under confidential invoice discounting you bill and collect your own receivables, and are in a position to finance your firm without your customers and suppliers having anything to do with how you finance your business.

Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor on why confidential accounts receivable financing will work for your firm, allowing you to supercharge that cash flow and those profits!

Turbo Charge Your Banking Via A Business Line Of Credit ABL Revolver!













Small, medium or large? We're not talking about a coffee cup size... we're referring to the fact that no matter what your size of business your access to a business line of credit is the lifeblood of your company. That's why an ABL revolver (ABL = asset based line of credit) is potentially the solution to turbo charge your working capital and cash flow.

Let's examine how.
Clients seem to always wrestle with the fact that they don't really understand the differences between this type of business financing and banking as opposed to a 'regular' operating facility with the bank. The differences could not be more dramatic. While a bank facility (by the way, we are all for them also, when they work! ) focuses significantly on your balance sheet ratios and over all profitability, etc the ABL revolver solution hones in on one issue only - your assets and their overall quality and size. It is on that quality and size that the ABL business line of credit is structured.


Borrowing power is what business lines of credit are of course about. When you utilize the ABL approach you in effect leverage all the power of the assets, which certainly isn't like what we like to call ' traditional bank borrowing '

.
So, why would a business such as yours want to unlock that borrowing power? The reality is there are some very recurring needs for firms which choose this type of business financing. First of all they either can't get or can't get enough working capital borrowing power against their inventory, receivables and equipment. Secondly, all sorts of other problems, challenges, and yes opportunities can e overcome with an asset based line of credit.


Many examples exist of firms who have doubled and in some cases tripled their business financing access via this type of finance. The answer is simple - it's based on asset size, not ratios and covenants and external collateral.
Those include firms which have large seasonality issues, companies who which to merge with or acquire a competitor on an asset financing basis, and, most commonly, firms that view themselves in turnaround or restructuring mode when it comes to where they are at in their life cycle - i.e. coming out of a challenging economic time or negative business event (operating losses, etc).
Did we just say ' operating losses '?

Yes, the reality is that even firms who are experience operating losses and could otherwise not achieve maximum operating cash flow are excellent candidates for ABL financing. We should mention that the type of facility you get, the pricing on that facility, and how the facility works vary within ABL revolver financing depending on your overall transaction size and asset coverage.


We must never forget also that these type of facilities never bring debt to your balance sheet, you view them similarly as an operating line, in that you are just monetizing your assets for working capital and cash flow - the only difference is you've got tremendous flexibility around borrowing power - because you are borrowing against a base of receivables, inventory, unencumbered equipment, and in some cases real estate also.


In summary ABL revolver financing gives you a full service business financing, its cost effective, addresses almost every financing problem you have had related to cash flow, and is available in facilities from 250k to many millions of dollars.
It somewhat of a secret to many that some of Canada's largest corporations choose this type of financing over a traditional bank facility. Speak to a trusted, credible, and experienced Canadian business financing advisor on why ' ABL ' give you that ' turbo charge' boost in cash flow we've talked about.

What's that ? You're not? No problem... read on!

No Canadian business owner of financial manager these days disputes with us the challenges of obtaining what everyone seems to call ' traditional bank financing. For all the right reasons (probably ... hopefully?!) Canadian banks hunkered down and tightened the lending strings a bit after the 2008-2009 financial debacle.

Therefore it’s not hard to determine how various specialized funds and independent finance firms came to a high level of prominence by offering ABL financing. A = Asset B= Based L = Loan .. It’s as simple as that.

Do you recognize any parts of the following story ... we think you will. You feel as if you had hit an impasse in expanding your firm. Personal funds have been depleted and your efforts to find that elusive ' traditional ' financing have failed. Additionally your firm might have some real challenges in perhaps returning to profit after you industry has been out of favor with those people in the glass towers that seem to know everything...

Is there really a viable solution to that business financing challenge, i.e. a real world alternative to a bank line and credit revolver loan? Enter asset based financing and asset based lines of credit!

Depending on the size of your facility and the overall financial condition of your firm the cost of ABL financing will either be lower, competitive, or higher than your current finance arrangements. ‘Thanks a lot ' we can hear you say, as that sure wasn’t very informing in nature! But we stand by that comment because of the complexity involved in assessing the size of your financing requirements, the overall credit worthiness of your company, and the mix of financing you need when it comes to ABL financing . The bottom line is simply that every situation is unique and needs to be addressed in that manner.

The essence of our message is hopefully clear - you do have a Canadian business financing alternative, and its a non bank revolving credit revolver , via an independent firm that provides you with very high liquidity rations on key assets such as receivables, inventory, and in many cases fixed assets and a/r.

Do we qualify? is question number 1 or 2 more often and not from clients . The answer in the ABL financing world is that everyone qualifies with only one criteria being required - you have business assets! because that’s what an ABL financing credit revolver is all about . And , as we said, it might be more expensive, and due diligence on your operations and assets might be a bit more rigorous ( in fact it will be for sure - ABL lending focuses on assets , not ratios !).

Whats happening in the Canadian ABL loan marketplace. Lots. Billions of dollars of financing is being accessed everyday by your competitors who are knowledgeable abut this new type of Canadian business financing. And it’s sure cheaper than bringing in additional equity, if in fact that could be arranged.

Interested? Intrigued? Want to know more? Speak to an experienced, trusted, and credible Canadian business financing advisor for the scoop on an ABL loan versus bank line. We guarantee you will be glad you did.
