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 is Financing Working Capital? And Why Should You Care?











Financing Working Capital for Better and Faster More Cash Flow





Financing working capital needs for Canadian business owners requires some ' real world ' info on the capital you need to finance day to day operations . Your competitors might well be using some strategies you might not even be aware of .

Business owners and financial managers constantly try to avoid the ' liquidity crisis' that can cripple a business . As challenging as it might be for non financial folks to understand different ratios and the structure of their balance sheet those type of issues must be understood and dealt with. That allows you to have ' predictable cash flow '

How does the financial mgr of a business address cash flow, and what is a reasonable working capital loan interest rate ? Answers are easier than you think - things like speeding up collection of your receivables, managing payables and supplier relations carefully, and ensuring you don't have excessive long term debt .

Finally you have understand how you can ' monetize ' your balance sheet to deliver on financing working capital needs. There are a number of ways finance folks have of explaining ' cash flow ' ; a common one is current ratio, simply the relationship between your short term liquidity and your short term obligations;


The reality though? Receivables can be slow to collect and inventories can sometimes turn slowly . If your sales are going up and you are on top of collections and payables your have real operating cash flow.

How then do you monetize the balance sheet - that's what our clients wan to know! They aren't looking for classroom lectures on ratios !

So those solutions ? They are more thank most business owners and financial managers might think. They include:


Traditional bank financing

A/R finance

Asset based lines of credit

Tax Credit Financing ( Typically SR&ED credits )

Sale leasebacks

Inventory financing

Short term working capital loans


So our bottom line? Simply that staying focused on turning over your current assets and financing them properly will accelerate your cash flow and provide the solution for your working capital needs.

It's critical to monetize your balance sheet in the right way, understanding the costs of these solutions, as well as how they work on a day to day basis.
