Non Bank Lenders That Will Help You Win
Business funding sources in Canada can come from both traditional lenders, aka ' the bank ' as well as non bank lenders who often are more equipped and prepared to handle shorter term needs in a more timely manner.
Most business owners or their financial managers know that traditional banking organizations in Canada are often unable to meet your business loan and cash flow needs when you are going through a period of financial challenges. So in a time when you are in perhaps a growth mode, or are experience working capital shortages the traditional bank or business credit union will be unable to meet your needs.
The harsh reality ? Simply that banks focus on cash flow and collateral that is more consistent historically and in the present. So high growth and larger build ups in inventory and receivables often creates uncertainty in the minds of Canadian bank lenders.
Even more pronounced is their lack of desire to fund a company when it is restructuring or experience temporary negative cash flow. And don't even talk about taking on very large new orders or contracts in this period of time! Unfortunately sometimes a bank will focus on reducing your access to funding, let alone increasing it ,
Is there a solution then? Thankfully there is , in that alternative finance companies specialize in various forms of asset and cash flow financing that will provide a bridge to more normalized financing structures. In some cases it's a ' bridge loan ' to get your company to it's next stage of growth and profitability or resumption of profit generation. These type of solutions allow you to remove the ' turbulence' that engulfs mgmt in times of cash flow challenges.
How to End Cash Flow Needs
So what do we need to consider when it comes to borrowing for business - It's often simply a case of identifying the best source of capital and not over emphasizing the cost of funding, which in almost all cases is higher in alternative finance. Simply ensure that you are not taking on too much debt on the balance sheet - and in many cases alternative finance sources monetize assets and don't generate debt.
Business owners must realize that the reward of taking on more business and generating more profits and funding daily operations will many times outweigh an additional or temporary cost of capital.
Finally, understand that in the majority of situations non bank lenders who specialize in small business funding fully realize these solutions are temporary in nature - So again we're talking about that bridge. At 7 Park Avenue Financial we focus on a plan that will allow an exit to more traditional financing solutions.
So why alternative finance solutions? Simply these firms look at assets and your current cash flow needs - solutions are tailored to your current situation. Start up loans are also available via alternate funding sources.
Bottom line? Focus on your current cash needs and repayment, not rates. Analyze the merits of taking on new business or larger contracts.
