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.

Steps To Commercial Business Financing Options










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.

Looking For Canadian Business Financing & Lending - Commercial Finance Company Options




Facts and Resources for Canadian Business Financing Options

Information on why business financing in Canada involves the proper selection of a commercial finance company for refinements to your current business finance strategy .




In Canada business owners and financial managers have an assortment of specialized finance companies that provide a broad level of financing products, all of them different in nature, so let’s examine why a certain commercial financing company might be your best logical choice for financing your business needs.

The good news is that Canada has hundreds of different and specialized financing sources... in fact we think quite often that our clients main challenge is simply identifying who those sources are and matching their finance offerings to their own specific needs . Some organizations are actually very significant entities and offer a broader subset of business financing less than one roof.

In order to determine the right commercial finance firm it is essential to think senior, or junior. What do we mean by that? Simply that if you are entertaining a senior debt facility it must be recognized by the business owner that that lender requires an overall first security position on the asset or assets being financed . Canadian banks do that well by an all encompassing document known as a General Security Agreement.

In many cases you the business owner aren’t seeking term debt, but an operating credit line. That type of facility in Canada is available from a Canadian chartered bank, but more and more corporations are going against the grain so to speak and seeking out an Asset Based Line (ABL) of Credit that allows them to draw on current assets with numerous other flexibilities.

Numerous boutique commercial loan firms in Canada provide temporary ' bridge ' loans... you guessed it , they are a ' bridge ' to a future re financing of certain assets .

In the U.S. there is a huge industry revolving around what is known as 2nd lien debt... simply speaking a second charge behind the first charge of any asset? This type of financing in Canada is somewhat rare, if not available at all.

There are some great hybrid vehicles... and we're not talking cars here! These hybrid business financing offers take on a senior debt position, at the same time structuring some equity participation for the lender. Talk about a lender that motivated to help your firm! We hasten to add also that these types of arrangements can also be facilitated with privately controlled companies, not public entities as might be assumed.

Leasing companies in Canada are highly specialized asset lenders that finance every type of asset imaginable, even patents and technologies n some cases. Many firms take the leasing industry scenario one step further, and finance assets a sale leaseback basis, providing additional cash flow to existing owned assets.

A somewhat robust VC and Private Equity industry also exists in the Canadian business financing landscape. They facilitate growth, re financing, going private, going public and very specialized scenarios.

Numerous firms in Canada utilize merchant banks - these again are specialized firms that bring capital into your business, along with their own. They are compensated in the form of fees, and of course equity ownership with respect to any direct investment in your firm.

Bottom line. Pretty clear we think. If you are looking for a commercial finance company you've got numerous choices, they might be debt, equity, or hybrid financings. Business financing made simple, if you've got some expert guidance in place that places your needs and your own particular situation at the top of the priority list!
