Ending The ' No Bank Financing ' Conundrum
Business financing options are provided by a number of non bank specialized finance companies in Canada. They provide an array of corporate solutions , all of them different but still allowing you to achieve cash flow and working capital goals . They are in fact , the answer to .. you guessed it ' no bank financing' conundrums.
The challenge for business owners and financial managers is to identify and execute on who those sources are and what they can do for your company . Many companies, and industries in fact have specialize needs .
When you think of the right type of business financing for your company it's important to think of senior and junior ! What do we mean by that comment ? Simply that a senior lender will want all the security on your business, typically handled by a document called the G S A - General Security Agreement . It then becomes a challenge to source other types of cash flow and debt solutions which can't be monetized.
A good example of a senior lender is Canadian chartered banks. But when that source of capital isn't available many firms these days choose asset based lenders , allowing them to drawn on various assets of their business but with more flexibility.
In some cases your business might need a ' bridge loan' - they solve temporary capital shortages .. they are a ' bridge' to future refinancing of your business.
Leasing companies are one of those specialized asset lenders that financing both new and used equipment, even software. While many firms think they are eligible for VC or private equity financing in fact they are poor candidates for that type of financing .
Is there a bottom line? We think so , Simply that if you are looking for a commercial finance company for debt and medium or
short term financing options alternative non bank lenders are a great choice.
Seek and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor with a track record of success when looking for a non bank commercial finance company in Canada.

Business Financing Options In Canada : Most Effective And Why
Looking For All Seasons Financing ?
OVERVIEW – Information on business financing options in Canada . Understanding various business loan and asset monetization solutions is key to your company’s financial success
Business financing options in Canada tend to be an ' all seasons' challenge. The Canadian business owner/financial manager constantly seeks different loan options and is constantly challenged to understand who to deal with, where to go, and what makes up qualifications for any specific type of financing . Let's dig in.
In a perfect world (by the way, its not) commercial businesses in the B2B sector would choose to be 'all cash ' businesses. That won't happen as along with the costs of paying supplies, funding operating expenses and overhead the reality is that some form of debt or asset monetization is required to carry inventory, receivables, purchase equipment , etc.
Through those ongoing ' seasons' of a business year there are of course bulge requirements and seasonality, simply adding more ' excitement' to the mix.
‘Loans’ is of course the generic word that business folks associate with financing. Those fundings come from banks, commercial finance companies, and for many companies in the SME Commercial Finance need sector even the govt, via the CANADIAN GOVERNMENT GUARANTEED LOAN PROGRAM. That loan guarantees banks the majority of their principal on the loan in case of a loss
So back to our ' all seasons' approach to Canadian business financing. Typical loan needs in the business financing area include lines of credit from banks or other commercial finance companies, or equipment loans from those same banks or equipment lessors.
There is currently a healthy competition between banks and other lenders who focus on various ' niches' in business finance. As an example one alternative to the bank line of credit is the ' ABL '. It's a working capital revolving line of credit that is based on the total value of your receivables, inventory and equipment. It costs more, but 99% of the time give you more, and is much easier to access if your firm can't meet bank qualifications.
You not only need to be comfortable is assessing your options; you must ensure you have a basis sense of some key aspects of any specific type of business financing. Typical forms of business financing include:
Receivables financing / factoring / confidential receivable funding
Inventory Finance
Working capital term loans
Equipment Leasing
Tax Credit Monetization (primarily 'SR&ED ')
Asset based non bank credit lines
Purchase Order / Contract Financing
Cash Flow/ Mezzanine Financing
What are those issues that need to be addressed in any of those options for our ' all season ' approach to business loans/asset monetization? They include:
Term/amortization
Interest rates and fees
Collateral availability/quality
Owner equity issues
Personal guarantee emphasis
If you're focused on capitalizing on the best form of financing for your business, during any season! , consider seeking out and speaking to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can assist you with your options assessment.
