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.

Time To Unleash An ABL Asset Line Of Credit Revolver Loan Insider Your Company? A Revolver Loan Works











What’s The Difference And Focus in ABL Financing?


Information on why an ABL revolver loan is a powerful tool in Canadian business . Finance Your Firm Via An Asset Line Of Credit



Don't you just hate them? We're talking about the ‘cash flow crowd’. That's why an ABL revolver loan via asset line of credit finance is quite simply, a way to beat that crowd at their own game.

However, all sarcasm aside, the concept of cash flow and servicing cash flow is a key driver in business credit. That's where the ABL line of credit goes against the grain. This time worn method of business revolving credit is a great solution for asset intensive businesses that cannot always meet those stringent cash flow requirements.

As we said, its all about assets, so if your firm has them, specifically A/R, inventory and equipment you're in a great position to qualify for this method of Canadian business financing for your credit line. It's been around a very long time, but quite frankly simply got more popular in recent years.

And just because it’s an alternative source of finance absolutely does not mean its anything approaching a ' lender of last resort '. The proof? Some of the largest and most successful corporations in Canada utilize it! And we’re talking public companies and private.

So why do business owners and their finance managers gravitate to an ABL revolver loan. It can be summed up in one word, flexibility. Can they be cheaper also, when it comes to financing rates? The reality for the majority of businesses is that it will be more expensive, but the trade off here is simply more liquidity. But for the record, there are numerous circumstances when ABL pricing meets or exceed that of the Canadian chartered banks. It's basically a question of overall credit quality and deal size.

Many ABL type deals are used by investors and business owners to complete a buyout transaction. That can be in the context of an acquisition or a change in overall ownership.

We do remind clients though that although the focus isn’t always on cash flow as with a bank line of credit focus the reality is that there is more monitoring and reporting when it comes to an asset line of credit finance facility . That might also include some appraisals prior to setting up the facility.

The positive trade off to that is simply that you have access to more liquidity - with receivables typically margined at 90% and inventory and equipment margins significantly exceeding Canadian chartered bank margins. The bottom line is that it’s your assets driving your access to liquidity, without being hampered by ratios or covenants.

Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor on why the ABL line of credit can unleash the power of liquidity for your Canadian business.
