Corporate Asset Finance - Feeling Overwhelmed ? How A Lease Company Addresses Your Issues

Ever Thought About Corporate Asset Finance Lease Company Solutions? 

 

Corporate Asset Finance has the ability to be very complex today - the positive news being there are a number of options for the Canadian business owner / financial manager to choose from. That might be a lease company, a bridge loan provider, or even a Canadian chartered bank.   The owner/manager can then be forgiven for not truly grasping the benefits, and risks, of asset finance.  Worse, more often than not available advantages and benefits are underutilized.

One way to take control of the asset finance concept is to utilize the services of a financing expert. Truth be told it is a rare breed of business owner or manager that has the background in credit, law,  finance, tax, and accounting that are all part of the asset finance equation.

One way in which the asset finance question is often overlooked is simply the inability of the owner and manager to look at asset financing from a ‘cradle to grave ‘point of view

So what are those starting to endpoints when it comes to corporate asset finance via your lease company or other alternative financial institution?  First of all the borrower has to have a strong sense of the general marketplace – that is probably one of the greatest areas of misinformation or confusion.

 

We talk to countless clients who simply don’t understand the lay of the land when it comes to asset financing – namely who are the players in the asset arena they are playing in?  We can’t count the number or times we’ve seen a client who has previously spent a lot of time dealing with the wrong players and the wrong offerings. To put it simply, they don’t understand the lay of the land!

After getting a strong handle on the overall market your firm has to have some sort of evaluation criteria. Those criteria involve rate, term, structure, useful economic life, etc. Documentation, tax and accounting issues, as boring or mundane as they might sometimes seem are critical to ‘best practices ‘in asset finance.

In entering a lease or asset finance transaction your company needs to know how this particular finance transaction can make or lose your company money. That might come from understanding applicable rate structures, or perhaps knowing your firm might have the bargaining power to issue a tender to solicit asset finance bids. The big boys and government does it - can you? Sometimes you can . Not always, but sometimes!

 

Key issues in accounting and finance play a key role in asset finance.

They might include depreciation policies, or simply your choice to enter into an operating off-balance sheet type transaction.

Part of the business of asset finance is of course knowing the long-term economic value of the assets you’re financing.  Your overall financing strategy brightens significantly when you’re keenly aware of asset resale values and obsolescence issues.

Want to get a solid handle on the pros and cons of corporate asset finance in Canada, dealing with a leasing company or commercial finance firm. If you don’t know it all  (who does?  ) seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business asset financing advisor who can assist you in getting un-overwhelmed!

Leasing Companies In Canada : Calling All Businesses Needing Lease Company Asset Financing Needs

Looking For A Hail Mary Pass On Financing Assets ? Here It Is

OVERVIEW – Information on leasing companies in Canada . What does the business owner/manager need to know in order to benefit from a lease company solution



Leasing companies in Canada almost always provide the classic ' Hail Mary Pass ' when it comes to financing asset needs. Whether its fixed assets, rolling stock, or technology needs the ' right ' lease company solves the problem, just when you needed it most. Let's dig in.


How though does the business owner/financial manager sift through, process, and reap the benefits of the equipment financing solution? Numerous real or perceived obstacles come up - they include a requirement to understand some of the basics of the industry, allowing you to reap the benefits they so strongly preach.

While many owners more experienced in lease financing constantly reap those benefits many firms still wrestle with the basics - they include:

What is the difference in rates based on asset size, credit quality, and type of asset financed?

Are there alternatives to the lease solution?

How important are the tax and accounting implications of asset financing?

Is it necessary to perform a ' lease vs. buy ' analysis?

What types of leases are available and how do they work?


As a lessee you're in much strong position than you think. The Canadian lease landscape is very competitive, current rates are at an all time low, and different types of finance firms truly want your business. By the way it's during this negotiation stage that your firm, or your lease advisor. truly wields the most negotiating power.

At future stages in the lease process when it comes down to credit approval and documentation it's as important to define your rights and obligations under the lease .Knowing the asset quality and useful life of the asset is also important, as that ' end of term ' value is often critical to knowing who's making more money on the transaction, you or your lessor!

As we have said, the choice in your financing needs is significant in the Canadian marketplace. Independent commercial firms, banks and captive finance firms that are directly related to manufactures all vie for your business. A lot of shoe leather can be wasted, by the way , when it comes down to searching for firms that ultimately can't meet your needs when it comes to deal size, assets financed, or your firms credit profile . The good point of ' credit profiles is that virtually all credit quality can be financed. If your company has credit ' challenges ' leases can be ' structured' vis a vis term, down payment, outside collateral, etc.

It can't be expected that all firms requiring asset financing needs know all there is to know about the mechanics of the equipment lease. That's when it might be beneficial to use the services of a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success who can assist you in issues such as:

Pricing/ financing cost

Your firms deal requirements

Suitable funders

Documentation/ Credit Approval

In effect you're utilizing the experience and knowledge of the industry for your firm’s maximum benefit. All of a sudden that ' Hail Mary pass' looks better than ever.

Leasing Assets ? Got What It Takes For Financing Equipment With Your Lease Company . You Do Now!

Managing Your Equipt. Leasing Relationship?

OVERVIEW – Information on leasing assets in Canada . Financing Equipment Via A Lease Company requires this fundamental knowledge


Leasing assets in Canada. Quite frankly it’s a relationship you're in when you’re financing equipment, and a lot of Canadian business owners and financial managers could do better when financing equipment and assets if they managed and partook in that relationship with their leasing company. Let's explain!

Selecting assets for your business is tough enough these days when it comes to technology, pricing, cost, etc. The business owner or financial manager doesn't need to have that same level of concern around the financing though. It's a simple case of being a bit more proactive in the relationship. We're told a relationship is a ' connection or involvement ' -

so we're saying it's about time to get involved with that lease company.

Knowing the bottom line and the actual financing cost and benefits of asset acquisition is what it is all about.

In every lease transaction it's important to understand the inflows and outflows of cash flow in your company as it relates to assets. Two key points here - one is that the rate and type of lease will determine your monthly payment or cash flow - but the business owner/ manager often doesn't consider the cash inflows or benefits that come from acquiring many revenue producing assets . It’s important to look at the total picture, especially, as we said, if you have got a revenue producing asset on your hands.

Part of every concern the business owner/ manager shares around acquiring assets is the lease versus buy decision. So do spend some time on determining if your asset decision makes good common sense re benefits, costs, and cash flows.

In lease finance it's all about ' cash flow ' and monthly payments. True of false? Well we can offer up for sure that most clients seem to place the most emphasis on those two points. While it’s fairly simply to determine monthly payments and total interest costs etc don't forget also that the type of lease you enter into also has some effects on your rights and obligations in your equipment financing transactions.

The ability to terminate a lease, return the asset, or even extend the lease simply makes it critical to having a solid relationship with the right lessor.

Lease companies use several strategies to maximize income, and of course no one denies or should deny their right to make a reasonable profit. But just proactively managing your relationship with your finance firm allows you to understand key lease company profit components of your transaction. For instance, have you ever asked your company if they have calculated that great rate you just got ' in advance ‘, or ' in arrears '. You just might be surprised at the answer, and the cash flow outcome.

Our bottom line today - take the initiative in managing and understanding the relationship between you, the asset in question, and your lease company partner. Seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing professional when it comes to leasing assets in Canada.
