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.

The Best Best Business Loan Financing Option to Business Capital












Never Worry About What to Do About Best Business Loan Financing Option Again With These Tips





The best business financing options for business owners and financial mgrs aren't always the obvious ones when it comes to achieving capital needs for your company. If there is any good news in today's highly competitive business environment it that funding options are available for everything from start ups, growing businesses, as well as financially challenged firms.

No secret that many industries have unique financing requirements , and even with industries no company might have the same needs - hence our focus on ... options !

So what in fact drives the need for financing ? It typically comes down to longer term goals of your company, the size of your business, and the overall ' risk rating ' that both traditional and alternative lenders use to provide their capital to your company.

Business owners typically gravitate to term loans - it's a common form of loan that at its basics requires you to make monthly payments over a pre-determined period - typically 2-5 years . These days many clients we speak to are looking for short term
 , typically covering temporary shortfalls or unique situations. These loans are very popular, readily available, and even more good news, quick to close , often in a matter of a week or two .

Those short term working capital loans compete directly these days with traditional banks, who of course have better rates but harder approval criteria . Often no hard collateral is required , just the ' promise ' of the business and business owner to pay . Typically these loans are for 10-20 per cent of your annual sales volume, as a guideline to keep in mind.

Government guaranteed start up loans are also popular. The government is committed to billions of dollars in these loans every year in Canada. Repayment is long, and covers 3 asset categories you can finance - equipment, leaseholds, and even real estate! The downsize - those great rates and terms and flexibility come with an application process that can be cumbersome if you don't have the expertise of an experienced Canadian business financing advisor.

Businesses run day to day on credit lines , typically secured by receivables and inventory . Asset based lenders provide non bank lines that offer generous borrowing margins.

Other immediate sources of business funding include:

Receivable Financing


Purchase Order funding


Equipment Leasing



Investigate the options that best suit your firms immediate needs . Seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor with a track record of success.

Business Financing Alternatives : Removing Mediocre From Your Loan Funding Needs







Business Financing Action Plan : Got One?










Information on business financing alternatives in Canada . Different types of loan funding for your company come with different requirements and chances of success. Here is what you need to know





Business financing alternatives
in Canada are best sought out and accomplished via an action plan. If a business is constantly struggling in its loan funding needs a sense of mediocrity sets in - that's not a good thing. Let's dig in.


While the goal of the company seems simple - i.e. access business capital in fact that journey is a potential complex process. Potentially there's a lot of turbulence
out that that comes in the form of issues in your industry, competition, and the current state of your financials.

What then are key factors that will ultimately affect your success / failure in accessing business finance solutions? They include the actual resources you have on your balance sheet, the amount of capital that owners have committed already to the business, and the knowledge that business owners/mgrs possess around sourcing and closing on funding needs.

It's important to note also that finance solutions can be short, intermediate or long term in nature. Choosing the wrong financing for the wrong timeline will simply have owners/financial mgrs hitting major roadblocks quite quickly. The goal though should always be simple - access capital at the best cost and ensure you haven't overlooked new financial innovations that abound in the marketplace. And sometimes it's a case of looking at a temporary solution versus a total solution.

How can the business take a hard look at its current financial position? Quite frankly it's all about the basics - taking a hard look at current payables, understanding your days sales outstanding, inventory turns ( if applicable )and figuring out how much debt you can take on . That's if in fact debt is the solution - in many cases simply monetizing assets on your balance sheet gets you to the goal line.









In many cases your current lenders may not be in a position to work with you on new financing - that might be because your firm can't meet those ' ratios' and ' covenants' that banks and other senior lenders seem to totally focus on. In many cases where we meet new clients it's a case that current financing arrangements are in a state of default either technically or informally via broken relationships. It's time to move on.

What are in fact the solutions available to your business from a view point of operational financing or growth financing? Traditional and nontraditional alternative finance solutions include:

A/R Financing/factoring/ Confidential Receivable Financing

Inventory Loans

Bank credit lines/term loans

Asset based business lines of credit

Financing existing tax credit receivables (SR&ED)

Equipment Financing/ sale leasebacks

Royalty Finance

Unsecured Cash Flow loans/mezzanine financing

Working Capital Term loans


If you're looking to move from ' mediocre' to highly desirable in loan funding needs seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success who can help you put that action plan in place .
