Business Finance Needs : Check Out Asset Financing Credit Facilities








We’re Predicting Love At First Sight For This Canadian Business Financing Solution



Information on ' ABL ' asset financing credit facilities in Canada. It's time business owners & mgr's who can't access traditional bank credit lines check out this Canadian business finance  financing solution





Business finance
solutions are never 100% perfect all the time, and of course making a prediction is a sometimes risky scenario, potentially damaging to your credibility, but we're quite confident in saying that Canadian business owners will recognize non bank asset financing as credit facilities for business finance loans to be the best thing they ever heard of when it comes to financing their business. In fact, we're predicting a potential ' love at first sight ‘! Let's dig in.

Frankly we're probably not exactly going out and making a stretch comment because, hundreds if not thousands of Canadian firms are investigating and utilizing this type of financing. You just may not have heard of it yet.
As the Canadian business economy turns itself around going most of our clients are finally focused on growth again .But how is that growth to be financed , since lending standards and criteria at institutions such as the banks don’t appear to have been liberalized at the same pace that your company hopes to grow !

That’s where our trend prediction comes in. Asset based lending focuses on your assets and growth opportunities - it doesn’t focus on ratios, tangible equity in your company, covenants, cash flow coverage, etc, etc, etc! Are we forgetting the dreaded ' personal guarantee’?

So you are picking up on the opportunity, let’s see how things work. Asset based lenders keep it simple, they lend a very high value against your ongoing assets. What are the typical assets lent against - you can almost guess what they are. They are receivables, inventory, unencumbered equipment and real estate if in fact there's a real estate equation in your company's assets.

The big mystery around asset based lending in Canada, based on conversations with our clients, is that business owners don’t really know or understand who these firms are. So we'll tell you.

They are specialized firms, both Canadian and U.S. based, that focus solely on providing credit facilities and business finance loans with your assets as security. They take the same security as a Canadian chartered bank would, and you manage your facility on a day to day basis, drawing down cash as you need it. Funds are wired into your account as you need them, based on... guess what ... assets! That really is the one key difference that our clients pick up on, that the total focus of this type of assets financing is the collateral itself.

We already know your next question... because we've heard it a hundred times before. Its' how much can we get ‘... followed by 'what does it cost’?

Speaking in general terms your receivables are financed at 90% of their value, and because of the nature and marketability of different types of inventory this type of collateral is margined anywhere from 25-75% . Even work in process can be financed for those firms that have progress billings. Recall we had noted that unencumbered equipment can be drawn against also. Typically an appraised current market or liquidation value is agreed upon with you and the asset financing provider. That saves the sale leaseback approach, which by the way is also a separate viable option.

Costs vary around this type of financing. On occasion it is competitive with bank financing - and giving you twice the liquidity - but more often than not it’s more expensive. You offset those costs by greater access to credit facilities that will grow your business and profits.

Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can walk you through the Canadian landscape of business finance loans in the asset based lending area. You'll quickly find, we think, that our prediction is becoming more true every day, asset based financing is hot! And here to stay.

SBL Loans! Is The Canadian Government Business Loan Help From Where You Least Expect It? Gov Programs For Business Finance








Government Assistance In Financing ? Yes!



Information on the Canada government business loan . SBL loans are the leading example of gov programs that work for Canadian business financing






Help from where we least expect it. We can't speak for you but we've always appreciated assistance in business, especially when it comes from sources you least expect. We're talking about the Canadian government business loan, in our opinion it’s the best or 2nd best of gov programs that work.


We've always loved the line ' Hi, we're from the government and we're here to help ‘... which is why SBL Loans in our opinion are the real world example of a phrase that is often associated with negavity. ‘Government ' ... ‘Banking’ ... many small and medium sized business owners cringe when they contemplate those words. Not today, though.


The government business loan in Canada is a primary offering via INDUSTRY CANADA in Ottawa. It offers SBL loans up to $ 500,000.00 for the purpose of financing equipment assets, leaseholds, real estate, software, etc. In actuality the 500k limit is specifically related to real estate, while other asset categories are capped at $ 350,000.00.


The program provides a long term fixed or variable rate financing to businesses looking to start, expand, and grow!


Misinformation abounds around the program; we're always surprised at the amount or lack of solid understanding and facts around gov programs such as this.


One of those main misconceptions revolves around who the lender is. We can at least forgive our clients who misunderstand the fact that while this is a government sponsored and guaranteed loan, in actuality the actual day to day dealings are in the private sector.


One of the greatest benefits of the program is something we have alluded to already, its that SBL loans fit perfectly for a number of company categories, including start ups, growing firms, and also franchises which make up a huge portion of the borrowing segment of this program.


As we have hinted, the program is run at the local level, local meaning wherever your firm is, because the program is underwritten and funded by your local Canadian chartered bank. By the way, one of the challenges of the program, as ironic as it may seem, is to find a banker that understands and supports the program in a positive manner. That means of course facilitating your application and recommending you for approval!


A common complaint we hear from clients on anything to do with ' gov programs' or banks in general is that ' forms and documents' are a challenge. Let's be realistic. All business financing requires a forms and app's, and we don’t necessarily subscribe to the fact that SBL loans are any different.


Some key basic requirements are a reasonable personal credit history for the busines owner/owners, a business plan and cash flow, and some historical financial statements if you're already in business. Very basic things such as your articles of incorporation are also required. Oh, and by the way, we strongly encourage clients to pay their taxes as you can expect to get a government loan when you owe them for back personal taxes already, right?!


The Canadian government business loan funds billions of dollars of small business loans in Canada. It's a working example of Gov. Programs that work. Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor today on achieving solid finance rates and terms you otherwise could not achieve. Bottom line? Get with the program!

Factoring Financing In Canada - Your Viable Cash Flow Solution












Cracking The Code In A/R Cash Flow Financing



Information on factoring financing in Canada . Here's how this real world business finance solutions works and why it just might make sense for your company



Factoring - Financing in Canada has a limited number of options, and factoring is certainly become one of them. When we meet with Canadian business owners and financial managers to discuss their working capital and cash flow problems customers are either self financing or requiring cash flow assistance, or their current financing needs to not provide them with the working capital and cash flow they require.

Canadian banks are among the strongest and most successful in the world - part of that reason is their somewhat conservative stance to Canadian business financing .- That conservative stances serves shareholders very well, but certainly doesn’t help small and medium sized business owners achieve their financing needs .


So where does your business get the cash flow it needs. Long term borrowing, i.e. what the finance people call ' term debt ' is not really the solution for day to day operating and working capital needs. Companies generate cash from the ' current assets ' portion of their balance sheet. That involves the following asset categories -

Cash
Inventory
Receivables

Factoring focuses on turning receivables into immediate cash. Yes there is a cost and a process but those costs and that way of doing business can be properly justified with the help of a trusted and credible advisor in this area of Canadian working capital finance.

When we meet with business owners to discuss their working capital needs it is essential they understand their working capital situation and requirements. Customer doesn’t need to be full fledged chartered accountants to measure their working capital situation and needs.

By taking a very few numbers for their financial statement customers can monitor the level of working capital to fund the business, and make payments on any debt the company has - i.e. loans, leases, etc .

Those calculations are very simply but not always properly understood or monitored by our customers. For example, determine your current working capital by taking your current assets and subtracting current liabilities - it’s as simple as that. Then monitor this number against the following items:

Sales
Total assets
Total liabilities

By at least on a monthly basis analyzing these very basic numbers will show your trends in your working capital needs and any deterioration that might be setting in.

Well, to this point we have discussed the problem - Is factoring the solution? It can be.

Factoring works as follows if you have properly structured a facility for your own particular business model and way of doing business. You simply sell, or ‘factor’ invoices as you generate them. You receive 80-90% of the money immediately, the balance on payment from your customer. There is of course no ' free lunch' in Canada so a financing fee, or ' discount fee ' is deducted from the funds due you. In Canada this can be in the range of 1 - 2 1/2% on average. Your ability to negotiate the best fee and the type of facility that suits your daily paperwork is probably going to come from working with a trusted and credible advisor in this area of Canadian Finance.

Higher turnover of receivables, I.E. via factoring, is a great indicator of a successful company. Your company is in a better position to invest funds, pay creditors in a timely fashion, and grow and profit your business.

If your firm could sell more because it had the working capital to finance receivables and inventory and purchase more goods you are turning over assets constantly and generating more profit .Therefore the 1-2% cost of the factoring is hardly what the Canadian business owner should focus on. You can also extend credit terms to major customers or new potential customers, which becomes a major competitive advantage - like your firm your customer also views ' cash as king' and will probably reward you with new business. Offering larger amounts of credit to good customers, with great payment terms is a great way to increase your competitive presence.

Factoring might no be the solution for every firm in Canada, most certainly it is not - 'BUT ' - if you cant get the financing you need its a solid working capital Canadian alternative . Work with a trusted advisor to get the facility that suits your business and needs.

Tax Credit Financing In Canada : Maximized









Information on tax credit financing in Canada. The ability to finance SR&ED and film and digital tax credits is a cash flow acceleration tool



Tax Credit Financing in Canada is a great alternative financing solution for Canadian firms who wish to maximize their Government tax credits. These tax credits typically arise out of the SR &ED (Scientific Research & Experimental Development) program, (commonly called SR ED) as well as various film tax credit programs that are Canadian based.



When you finance a tax credit such as SR ED you are in effect generating cash flow and working capital for your company and of course recovering monies that have already been spent! As most business owners pleasantly discover when they determine they are eligible for SR ED or film tax credits, these funds are non repayable, in effect they are grants .



The acronyms for these programs are SR & ED, FTC, and OIDMTC.



Customers that we work with typically generate financings through us after they have filed their claims. With respect to the SR &ED financings these claims are filed at the same time you file your corporate tax returns. Typically we can generate and successfully complete these financings within 14 days, sometimes it takes longer due to the complexity of the claim and other financial issues your company might be facing. It is critical there are no CRA tax arrears; otherwise your claim will be offset against the arrears. In cases where the tax arrears exist, and are smaller than your claim, we can arrange to pay Ottawa and provide you with the full financing benefits of whets left in your claim.



Canadian business owners and financial managers typically use these funds for short term working capital purposes.



In some instances, particularly in the film tax credit financing area your project can receive funds under the film tax credit financing prior to filing the final claim, provided your project can confirm eligibility. In these instances it is recommended that you can successfully prove you have filed and been approved successfully in previous years.



In cases where your corporate SR & ED claim is a first time claim there is a bit more due diligence put into the quality of the claim and your overall financial position, but categorically these claims can be filed and financing originated on a first time claim. Most companies use the services of well known SR &ED preparers, which accentuate the positive nature of your claim.



With respect to SR &ED claims that are financed, typical financing is generated at 70% loan to value. That of course simply means that you receive, on financing approval, approximately 70% of the total provincial and federal claim as working capital. These funds are repaid in entirety when you claim is adjudicated, approval, and funded by the government, so you are not paying ‘ monthly payments ‘ – you simply receive the working capital injection which is offset on final approval .



Canadian companies who are interested in tax credit financing and film credit financing should speak to an experienced advisor in this area who can assist them in the financing of the claim. It’s a great Canadian alternative financing strategy!

Business Cash Flow A Problem? Here’s 4 Working Capital Financing Solutions! Count ‘em!










Is 4 Your Favourite Number When It Comes To Business Financing ?

It Just Might Be & Here’s Why!



OVERVIEW – Information business cash flow solutions in Canada. The ability to source the right working capital financing for your company is a ‘ make or break ‘





Business cash flow
! These days you probably would be happy with 1 solid working capital financing solution for your cash flow business needs. We'll beat that and give you 4! How is that for alternative solutions to your working capital and cash flow needs? Let's dig in.

Funding of working capital continues to be a large challenge for Canadian businesses of all size - The business owner/financial mgr want to grow the business. That requires investment and along the way those suppliers and employees want to be paid on time also. That's called running a business.

The most liquid asset any business always has, (next to cash) is your receivables. Working capital financing is best generated by the collection, or financing of your receivables. This can be done by:

Faster collections

Financing / selling your receivables as you generate them

This financing is called receivable discounting or factoring, and is becoming increasing popular every day. For firms qualifying for bank credit, i.e. traditional bank financing via business lines of credit are optimal

You've spent your working capital - would you like to get it back? Clients always ask what we mean by that. Any equipment you have already paid for can often be refinanced, the technical term is sale leaseback, and we find that either that strategy or a short term bridge loan with the equipment as security is exactly what our clients need to bridge the cash flow gap.

We spoke above about receivable financing - one of the best facilities for Canadian business is a combo working capital facility that finances, or ' margins ' both your A/R and your inventory. Since many firms previously couldn't finance their inventory either elsewhere, or via banks, the combined liquidity of borrowing against your A/R and inventory is a true power punch! Typical this type of financing is known as an asset based lending facility, and makes most sense when the facility is at least in the 250k range, and sky is the limit after that.


Many clients are totally unaware the Purchase orders financing is available in Canada. This is a strong potential cash flow saver, and generator, since your suppliers are paid for product when you order it, once you have received the P O. The P O lender takes the inventory and receivable as security, but in effect finances your whole sale. While it is an expensive form of financing if you have good gross margins and could otherwise not facilitate the sale of your large new orders and contracts it's a perfect solution.

In summary, make yourself aware of your Canadian business financing options. Working capital and cash flow are available if you have assets and orders. We have demonstrated that clearly to you via 4 separate solutions. Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor to determine what works for your firm.

Inventory Financing & P O Factoring Solutions In Canada : Your Ship Just Came In






A Business Nightmare Come True ?

You Just Got The Order/Contract! Now What




OVERVIEW – Information on inventory financing lenders in Canada. Solutions such as P O Factoring and other asset based sales financing techniques help grow your business





P O financing via inventory financing and other asset based lender solutions bring to mind the best and worst of running a business. It's the ultimate irony - Your worst business nightmare has just come true - you got the order and contract! Now what though?

How can Canadian business survive financing adversity when your firm is unable to traditionally finance large new orders and ongoing growth? We've got some answers. Let's dig in.


Let's look at real world examples of how our clients achieve business financing success, getting the type of financing need to acquire new orders and the products to fulfill them.

Here's your best solution - call your banker and let him know you need immediate bulge financing that quadruples your current financing requirements, because you have to satisfy new large orders .










Ok... we'll give you time to pick yourself up off the chair and stop laughing.

Seriously though...we all know that the majority of small and medium sized corporations in Canada can't access the business credit they need to solve the dilemma of acquiring and financing inventory to fulfill customer demand. For companies with strong financials, a long history, and profits and cash flow now and in the past there's no questions Canadian chartered banks fit the bill. But what about the thousands of companies in Canada that can't access all (or any?) of the traditional financing and great interest rates provided by the banks?

Bottom line - All is not lost. You can access purchase order financing through independent finance firms in Canada - you just need to get some assistance in navigating the minefield of whom, how, where, and when.


Large new orders challenge your ability to satisfy them based on how your company is financed. That's why P O factoring is a probably solution. It's a transaction solution that can be one time or ongoing, allowing you to finance purchase orders for large or sudden sales opportunities. Funds are used to finance the cost of buying or manufacturing inventory until you can generate product and invoice your clients.

Are inventory financing lenders the perfect solution for every firm. No financing ever is, but more often than not it will get you the cash flow and working capital you need.

P O factoring is a very stand alone and defined process. Let's examine how it works and how you can take advantage of it.
The key aspects of such a financing are a clean defined purchase order from your customer who must be a credit worthy type customer. P O Factoring can be done with your Canadian customers, U.S. customers, or foreign customers.

PO financing has your supplier being paid in advance for the product you need. The inventory and receivable that comes out of that transaction are collateralized by the finance firm. When your invoice is generated the invoice is financed, thereby clearing the transaction. So you have essentially had your inventory paid for, billed your product, and when your customer pays, the transaction is closed. Mission accomplished.

P O factoring and inventory financing in Canada is a more expensive form of financing. You need to demonstrate that you have solid gross margins that will absorb an additional 2-3% per month of financing costs. If your cost structure allows you to do that and you have good marketable product and good orders you're a perfect candidate for p o factoring from inventory financing lenders in Canada.

We point out to our clients that Purchase Order / Contract financing can also be combined with a fully operational asset based line of credit - this will often substantially lower the overall cost of your borrowing - it’s based on 2 key things which you probably already have - sales... and assets!
Don't want to navigate that maze by yourself? Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can ensure you maximize the benefits of this growing and more popular business credit financing model.
