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.

The Big Squeeze - and Me

Front page of Globe and Mail today - Headline = ' SMALL COMPANIES / BIG SQUEEZE '

The article highlights the fact that the recession ended, but not the Small Business Credit Crunch !

The article, by Joanna Slater, talks about even ' the healthiest' of small firms not being able to get business financing .

The article has the usual info that we all know of course, that small and medium sized business is the employment engine of the economy - also highlights a new OBAMA fund of 30 Billion to help fund small business .

Naturally as the small and medium sized firms struggle to get a couple hundred thousand dollars
of credit line the Kraft Foods of the world are floating 9 Billion Dollar bond deals to buy their competitors . The big get .. bigger ..

The article is dead on in saying that as bank health is in the spotlight that small business feels it worst - One business owner is quoted in the article saying ' Based on what I have heard I haven't even bothered to go into a bank ' ..

Can we all agree Canada is in the same position - Lets let good small and medium sized firms in Canada get the financing they need !
