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.

What Different Types Of Commercial Loans Does Your Business Need ?









Quick Guide to Types Of Business Loans



Different types of business loans
can, in some cases, be challenging for business owners to achieve . Certain types of funding are often much better suited to your company's financing needs.

The good news is that a number of business finance solutions are more accessible than ever . Naturally the ' go to ' in the minds of many owners and their financial mgrs is ' the bank '. Here capital is virtually unlimited and the rates are typically the lowest when it comes to cost of funds .

Bank financing comes with a challenge though - the need to provide full financial disclosure around financial statements, owner personal credit history and net worth, collateral, personal guarantees, and in many cases the requirements to produce a business plan or cash flow forecast . Don't forget to take into consideration the ' timing ' factor, in that the process time might often be weeks stretching into a month.. or more.


Types of business loans offered by banks :



Business credit lines
Term Loans
Equipment Loans


We can safely say that Canadian banks offer the most flexibility and access to capital when a firm qualifies . Factors such as years in business, profits, acceptable balance sheet ratios , etc are key to bank loan approval.



Early stage businesses often utilize personal financial resources to access cash - that includes business credit cards , loans from friends and family, etc. At 7 Park Avenue Financial we encourage clients to separate personal and business financing , as those types of resources are not often the best choice to finance a company, as business failures can significantly damage personal credit .


Alternative Lending


For those firms that can't access all or even some of the funding they need alternative financing comes to the rescue . Alternative lenders provide the same types of loans available from banks - and are often quicker to approve loans . The cost of this financing is higher , but it provides access to capital.

Typical solutions available from alternative financiers include -


Non bank business credit lines
Inventory financing
A/R financing ( aka ' factoring ' )
Short term working capital loans
Tax Credit Financing ( SR&ED loans )


Both banks and alternative finance companies provide loans for long term business growth - These needs might include :

Commercial mortgages for owner occupied facilities
Mergers and Acquisitions
Franchise Financing
Leasehold Improvements - ( leaseholds can be easily finance via the Government guaranteed business loan )

These types of loans are typically longer in duration - ranging 2-5 years


If you are focusing on ensuring you understand and have access to the right type of commercial loans for your company seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor with a track record of success.
