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.

Looking For Loan Or Lease For Business Financing ? Finance Your Canadian IT & Industrial Assets


Canadian Business owners and financial managers want to be in a position to benefit from lease for business financing. Whether it’s a lease for industrial or IT (information technology) assets the goal is to achieve or maximize the benefits of the assets via use.

Asset financing in Canada consumes capital - and a lease for business financing simply is your alternative to that capital consumption, it conserves working capital and cash flow.

The good news about asset and lease financing in Canada is that it covers all types and sizes of assets. At the end of the day the collateral value of the asset , including software by the way , as well as your firms general credit quality drive the lease financing decision from the viewpoint of your new business financing partner, the Canadian lessor .

In the 2011 environment equipment financing and leasing is on a roll, and that’s an understatement! The industry is back up off its back, having survived the 2008-2009 recession and global financial implosion. The only decision you have to make is quite frankly to find the right lease partner. That choice in an of itself can often make or break your success in a lease or financing loan. (Sometimes a bridge loan is a solid alternative to an equipment lease financing.)

Quite frankly the challenge many clients face is simply knowing where and how to find the right lease financing solution, whether it be for industrial or IT assets to compliment their asset financing strategies. Lease companies in Canada cover a broad spectrum - some are bank based, some are independent, with either U.S. or Canadian ownership, and some actually are foreign based.

It is highly recommended to work with a lease partner that knows both your industry and is also the type of assets that you wish to finance. This becomes your goal and is often a challenge for many Canadian business owners and financial managers. Don't forget that when a lessor understands your industry and your asset you have a significantly higher chance of reaching what we term ' lease nirvana “. What's that? Simply financing that has the right rate, term and structure for your firms needs and cash flow requirements.

Although your firms credit quality often plays a key consideration in a lease for business financing approval it’s also the value of the asset that drives that final credit decision. Customer with less than stellar credit, even start ups by the way, have a solid chance to obtain lease equipment financing simply by virtue of the value of the asset they are acquiring. And that’s a good thing.

Key issue to consider when acquiring an asset, either industrial or IT in nature are the term of the lease, the ultimate disposition of the asset - (keep it? Re finance it? Return it? ) and how a lease financing loan works into your overall finance strategy.

Cash Flow Restricting Your Growth? Let business Equipment Financing And Leasing Of Industrial Assets Do The Job


Can you count them? How many times have you felt your ability to grow your company with additional sales and profits was restricted by inability to obtain business equipment financing and leasing for industrial and other types of equipment? If you're one of the lucky ones that survived the 2008-2009 recession and your business is growing again (or surviving?!) let equipment financing and leasing move your business forward.

The scope of leasing for industrial and other types of business equipment is broad, and that’s an understatement. Canada's largest corporations utilize lease finance, and even small entrepreneurial start ups can utilize all the advantages of this type of Canadian business financing.

Most business owners and financial managers in Canada prefer certainty when it comes to business financing. Equipment financing and leasing brings that predictability. Why is that? Simply because if you have chosen your asset properly (we’ll leave that one up to you) and matched the asset with the right type of business equipment financing then you have just succeeded in closely matching the cost and cash outlays to the benefits you will receive from the asset - whether that be high end industrial equpment or the latest computer or telecom technology.

Again we come back to restrictions you face on acquiring those assets. And this time the evil doer is ' the budget ‘. In talking to clients about lease finance and their strategies they employ they are often stymied by the budget cycle. Again, this applies to every type of corporation, large and small, it’s just that the big boys probably have a bit better handle on the planning and documentation around a budget.

But does budgeting have to restrict your success. We don’t think so, and that’s why equipment leasing comes to your rescue. When your company budget doesn’t not allow for either the size of an asset or the timing of the acquisition to work the way you want it to then business equipment leasing should become the solution of choice.

Why? It doesn't get any simpler. You can acquire assets of a significantly higher size by focusing on monthly payment and not total expenditure, and there are tens of ways you can adjust payments to reflect beating that budget. Payments can be temporarily deferred, lowered in earlier term of the lease, and if you choose an operating lease then your asset doesn’t even get impacted by the budget cycle. That’s because the monthly lease payment is treated as an operating expense within your operating budget.

In summary, it’s a battle out there, and you shouldn’t let your competitors win the asset acquisition battle because your firm didn’t take advantage of the flexibility of business equpment financing. Whether your obstacle to innovation is cash flow, budget cycle, asset dollar value, etc we think we have shown that you now have the ' tool kit ' to combat the business growth challenges you face in acquiring assets.
