Working Capital and Small Business Finance Loan/Loans Options

Listen To Captain Obvious : 'Guess What Your Business Needs? '

Just picture your firm having access to all the working capital you need. Seem impossible? Not really... if you have a solid understanding of your options and your firms capability of qualifying or executing on those options.

Whether you're the largest corporation in Canada or a small new start up (and everything in between) your business needs working capital. In Canada small business financing loans and financing arraignments for working capital are limited to a handful of possibilities - but being aware of what they are and qualifying for them could be the solution to your constant focus on cash flow via some sort of working capital loan.

It is probably easier than you think to ensure you are addressing the cash flow challenge correctly - where it gets somewhat ' thorny ' is matching a solution to the problem or locating an expert that can provide you with the business financing assistance you need.

Two key elements of your first step working capital assessment are your gross margins and your turnover. That's the big problem we have with text book / academic solutions to working capital - they point you to the text book calculation - give you a formula which essentially has you subtracting current liabilities form current assets, and voila!

the inference is you have working capital. However, our clients have never paid a supplier or completed a company payroll with a ratio!

To properly assess your working capital needs focus on understanding your turnover - how much inventory do you carry, what are the days outstanding in inventory, and as importantly, or more importantly, are your receivables turning over. Have you realized that for many firms 80% or so of the total of all the business assets you have are tied up in A/R, inventory, and, on the other size of the balance sheet let's not forget payables.

So can you have financial success based on your new found knowledge and analysis of your cash flow and asset turnover. We think you can.

Canadian business financing solutions to small business finance loans really revolve around a couple viable solutions. Typically, in our experience Canadian chartered banks cant satisfy your business working capital needs - if only for the reason that they rarely finance inventory and require significant merit in your overall financials, profitability, external collateral, personal credit worthiness, etc.

So, where do you go from there? The other solutions are very viable and can take you to a potential 100% turn around in cash flow - they include working capital financing as a bundled line of credit on a/r and inventory via an independent finance company. For firms that are larger we believe the ultimate tool is an asset based line o f credit that provides high leverage margining on all you business assets. Other more esoteric solutions, but still very viable although somewhat misunderstood are securitization, and purchase order financing of new contracts and orders. (Your suppliers are paid directly for the orders you have in hand - what could be better than that?)

Finally, coming up the road at lightening speed is factoring and invoice discounting. We mention them lastly but they are probably the most popular method, gaining traction everyday. Our favorite is confidential invoice financing, allowing you to control your financing.

So there you have it. You have identified new ways to determine the need; we have outlined 4 or 5 solutions that will take the guess work out of working capital. These loan and financing options are available with a bit of research, and, if you choose, speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success
who can provide you with timely and valuable assistance in your cash flow needs.

Confidential Cash Flow Factoring - Turn Accounts Receivable Into Your Best AR Finance Strategy

Want To Speed Up Cash From From Your Current Mobility Scooter Pace ? Here’s How

We are going to demonstrate how a little known, and in our opinion almost a secret strategy

called






confidential cash flow factoring can turn your accounts receivable into a virtual cash flow machine, turning past AR finance obstacles into cash flow solutions!

Search engine analysis will show you that thousands of Canadian businesses search everyday for what they hopefully believe will be valuable information around the most popular method of business financing today. Those businesses, of all types and sizes by the way (even the largest corporations in Canada) want to know why cash flow factoring offers unlimited unlocking of cash flow based on your sales and receivables.

Initial explanations and overviews to clients sometimes become bogged down in key issues such as the cost of this method of AR finance, and, equally important, is the unwillingness of some clients to accept how invoice discounting (that's another name for this type of financing) works.

Canadian business owners and financial managers want to like a good thing, at the same time they want to know how it works

and how they avoid any pitfalls. Lets discuss the ' how it works ' portion first and then share with you the method we believe eliminates the major pitfall perceptions viewed by many firms considering this type of financing.


We'll focus on small and mediums sized business - the larger corporations have access to all sorts of financing and external finance strategies - while the small and medium sized businesses in Canada tend to rely on their own cash flow to fund their ongoing growth and working capital. In fact many firms realize they have potential to grow sales and profits, but cant because of that lack of working capital.

Back to the 'how it works'! Cash flow factoring of accounts receivable is the ongoing sale, in whole or in part of your sales invoices as you generate them and deliver products and services to your customer. The invoices are purchased at 1- 3% discount from yourself, and you receive cash, 99% of the time the same day, for those sales. So, in effect all your sales now fuel that cash flow machine you have turned your company into.

So far, so good, right?

Where complications arise, especially in Canada, is the fact that this type of financing requires your client to be notified of the process, directly, or indirectly, and payments are required to be forwarded to your factoring finance firm. Canadian business, in our eyes, has a reluctance to involve their customers in their internal financing policies, and challenges. As a result, many firms are skeptical of entering into AR finance of this manner.


Is there a solution? We told you there was - it's a breakthrough called confidential invoice discounting. This type of financing comes at the same cost, allows you to bill and collect your own receivables, and gains all the benefits of that cash flow factoring machine we turned your company into.

Seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success
who can put you into a proper AR finance facility, allowing you to reap the benefits of cash flow invoice financing, while at the same time allowing competitors, customers, and vendors to remain exactly where you want them to be, outside your financing strategies and challenges! Let's let your competitors try and figure our how you're doing so well in both growth and profits.

Is 'Good Enough' Ok In Equipment Leasing When Structuring A Business Equipment Loan or Lease?

Is 'Good enough' acceptable to your firm when you are looking at equipment leasing and arranging a business equipment loan or lease in Canada. We don't think so and we'll share some fundamental info and strategies that take your business financing to the next level when it comes to benefits.

You have arrived at the lease or buy decision base on your need for new fixed assets for your business. Financing those assets out of regular cash flow, or entering into cumbersome bank loan arrangements isn't an option.

The use of the asset over the long term should be what drives your financing decisions. Longer term assets require long term financing, and that's what equipment leasing is all about - matching the useful economic life of your asset to your cash flow and financing structure.

We encourage clients to take a hard look at lease term. Don't let our 'good enough' statement overtake your decision to properly match he asset term. Many lease firms that are focused on offering one type of term, or one type of lease (there are two types) are going to try to sway you towards their product or service offering. If there were only one lease company in Canada that would be problematic - fortunately there are hundreds!

Business owners and financial managers need to separate. What do we mean by that? We mean that you must separate the manufacturer and the price of the equipment from the financing. If you are dealing with a MFR that is also the financier of your asset make sure you maximize the benefits of that type of financing, known as 'captive financing' as its often the best available in terms of rate term, and structure.

The lease financing industry preaches '100%' financing for your business equipment lease and loan needs. The reality is though that often times a down payment of security deposit is required. Make sure that request is reasonable, and competitive, don't fall into our 'good enough' scenario of having to accept every term or down payment that is specified in your finance offer.

Structuring is what lease financing is all about. Be armed with a cash flow analysis that makes sense for the type of asset you are acquiring. Remember, if you don't ask or request a 'vanilla' or typical lease solution will be offered up - you don't have to accept that if your cash flow needs, business seasonality, or term of the lease are particular to how you want to benefit from lease financing.

Let's take a quick example - let's say you are leasing a 100k computer system. The lessor offers you a 5 year lease based on your firms overall credit quality, and requests a 20% down payment. and specifies payments of 1685/mo. Did you know that in many cases you could get the same lease payment for a 3 year term, saving you two years in payments? That's by utilizing an operating lease and shortening the term. Again, back to our point, don't let 'good enough' be your only choice in asset financing.

In summary, every firm in Canada has unique financial needs, and you need lease financing payments, terms, and structures that work for you. Don't accept 'good enough' in business financing. Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success on how you can truly maximize financial benefits of a business equipment loan or lease.

Business Asset Finance Canada : Lose Your Insecurity On Financing Cash Flow

Is Your Cash Flow Financing Like A Bouncy Castle On A Patchy Power Supply?

OVERVIEW – Information on financing cash flow from sales in Canada . Managing business asset finance to make your company financially secure

Financing cash flow needs for Canadian businesses must often have many business owners/financial mgrs feeling as if they’re on a ' bouncy castle with a patchy power supply'! Talk about insecurity. When it comes to business asset finance it's all about ensuring you understand how your firms cash flow relates to your sales cycle. Let's dig in.

Do you really know where you cash flow and working capital comes from? Essentially it’s either from your balance sheet - i.e. your business credit lines and the amount of owner equity on your balance sheet. That is then complemented by the cash you generate from your sales cycle. Here it's about asset turnover and the proper financing of those assets - i.e. inventories, receivables, and fixed assets.

Your ability turn revenues into cash is all about timing and will ultimately determine the success of your business. Strong asset turnover will also limit the amount of borrowing you require in the areas of monetizing your assets or financing new equipment/technology needs.

So how much cash do you need to run your business? We could defer to our lawyer for an answer (' Well.. it depends') ,

but instead we'll say that it is in fact relatively easy to both understand , and plan your cash flow needs.

So how then does your revenue affect how you manage, and finance cash flow needs. Simply speaking any delays in the entire sales cycle (we’re talking from sale to collection of your goods/services) will slow down your cash flow. In effect, until you collect your money from clients you are a ' consumer' of cash, not a ' generator '.

There are 3 areas you need to focus on to ensure maximum cash flow and minimizing cash flow finance needs:

Solid financial controls around credit extension/collection

Understanding your client base - re payment discounts, terms, etc

Knowing which finance solution (Traditional or alternative) works best for your firm


These solutions include:

A/R Financing
Inventory loans
Lease financing/ sale leasebacks
Tax Credit Monetization ( sr&ed )
Business credit lines - bank or non bank revolving facilities
Royalty finance

Ensure you understand how these work what amt of financing they deliver on, what covenants or guarantees are required, etc

If you're focused on relieving that insecurity as it relates to business asset finance seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success who can assist you with financing cash flow needs.

Solvency Finance : Taking Your Company From Slow Decline To Rise In Business Liquidity Solutions

Don’t Take This The Wrong Way: Do You Know The Difference Between Business Solvency And Liquidity

OVERVIEW – Information on business liquidity and solvency finance solutions for Canadian business financing strategies for growth and operations

Business liquidity , we've found, means different things to different people. So... don't take this the wrong way, but do you really understand ' solvency finance issues when it comes to your firm's current and long term cash flow needs? Let's dig in.

The challenge around understanding the overall liquidity of your business essentially revolves around long term commitments, recognizable by the term ' solvent'. As all business owners and financial managers know only too well business also operates in the short term, requiring ' real cash ' to make its commitments.

Another way to explain the situation is as follows - when lenders as well as investors look at your firms overall financial status they view it in terms of all your assets versus your liabilities. More assets are better!

Your goal? To insure your company has long term health as well as meeting its daily commitments. Although it shouldn’t be the case (but unfortunately is) many owners/ managers are ' distracted' by paper profits and sales growth, not foreseeing the ' liquidity ' crisis coming down the road.

Having those assets we spoke about, and knowing how to finance them is the key to liquidity - you're 'solvent' on paper and liquid in the bank. Assets, both current and fixed, give you ' financing power' to become more liquid.

However, we're the first to mention that assets poorly managed, valued, or the lack of current asset turnover again brings us back to our point - you're solvent on paper but facing failure in liquidity .

Canadian chartered banks are the best when it comes to providing capital when your business, as well as the economy, is in ' good times'. When does that change? Banks are rightfully not prepared to finance financial losses, downward spiraling sales, etc.

How then does the business owner/mgr finance itself properly and avoid the dreaded ' cash crisis' that almost all businesses , large and small, face at one time or another. One solution is ensuring that your available cash is augmented by a business credit line. Canadian business can access either bank revolving facilities, or if they don't qualify ' ASSET BASED LINES OF CREDIT - ' ABL'S are available from commercial lenders.

Typically combinations of mgmt activity are required to ensure proper liquidity - that includes structuring credit lines that make sense, managing payables, and addressing key profit/margin issues.

Bankers, as well as those friendly Bay street guys, and other commercial lenders have various time test tools to quickly assess your solvency and liquidity. These ' ratios’ include net working capital calcs, debt to equity tests, interest coverage, and asset turnover.

Knowing how these tools measure your company is a great asset for any owners/mgr.

Financing mechanisms that help you to both manager liquidity and solvency include:

A/R Financing
Inventory loans
Bank revolving credit lines
Non Bank asset based lines of credit
Tax credit finance
Equipment Financing/ Sale Leasebacks
Royalty Finance
Unsecured cash flow loans

If you're focused on ensuring you've got both the tools ( to measure ) and the solutions ( to solve ) liquidity and solvency issues seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success
who can assist your firm .

Alternative Finance And Banking: Avoiding Disappointment In Canadian Business Financing

Doing The Right Thing : 6 Ways To Finance Your Company

OVERVIEW – Information on business financing solutions in Canada. Both banking and alternative finance choices can provide your company with the capital it needs . The challenge – doing the right thing!

Business financing in Canada ; what business owner / financial mgr doesn’t want to do the right thing when it comes to a finance plan for their company? If there's any good news these days when it comes to solutions for eliminating finance challenges it's that there is more choices than you might think. Let's look at 6 of them. Let's dig in.

There is of course a broad spectrum of finance services stretching from Canadian chartered banks / credit unions all the way to a whole new breed of alternative financing providers depending on the ' risk profile ' that your company demonstrates. Suffice to say that rates and terms and structures will vary widely, calling for an added element of expertise and investigation by you or your trusted Canadian business financing provider.

We note also that it's a bit rare for a business to only utilize one method of financing the company. Various forms of debt based capital and asset monetization are usually required to address operating and growth. In general debt providers look to some form of equity being in place, but man alternative finance providers do not focus on equity - they look towards assets and cash flow, often making their solutions the only ones available when owner equity is stretched... or missing.

Let’s examine those 6 potential solutions.

Business banking - while banks provide the lowest rates and most attractive terms and structures the criteria they require to access capital may often be out of reach. To access proper chartered bank financing you need a very solid mix of profits, collateral, an appropriate amount of time in business, and owner guarantees that can backstop the financing. While the debate around business banking in Canada addressing your finance needs will continue owners who can meet the basic criteria will enjoy business credit lines and term loans in virtually an unlimited amount.

Asset Based Lenders - these are the new breed of lending in Canada, focusing on collateral such as your equipment, receivables, purchase orders , allowing you to gain access to business credit when your balance sheet or income statement don't ' meet mustard' for the banks

Equipment Leasing - If 80% of North American businesses utilize lease financing to acquire there assets surely they are on to something. The ability to acquire assets and not tie up cash is a key benefit in those lease finance solutions. Even used equipt can be financed.

Govt Small Business Loans - This is a classic recommended solution for many firms - providing bank type rates with non bank lending criteria - including start ups! Loans are guaranteed to the bank by the federal govt and are extremely flexible around repayment, amortization, etc. Recent limit changes are even more exciting! ( They have gone up!)

A/R Financing - Thousands of firms who view their receivables as a key asset employ invoice financing (Our recommended solution in this area is CONFIDENTIAL RECEIVABLE FINANCE) to cash flow their business. It provides unlimited financing possibilities as long as you have growing sales.

Cash Flow Loans - subordinated cash flow loans are a solid form of secondary financing - these loans rank behind your other secured creditors - in effect they are unsecured loans but require a solid demonstration of your ability to generate cash flow repayment .

If you're looking to ' do the right thing ' in your Canadian business financing, banking and alternative finance choices seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success who can help you avoid disappointment when it comes to capital solutions to run/grow your business.
