Your Executive Decision : Improve Cash Flow & Access To Business Financing ! Here’s How
OVERVIEW – Information on working capital finance solutions in Canada. The ability to properly fund and finance your cash flow needs makes .. or breaks.. your business future
Working capital finance in Canada is all about the need, and the rise of cash flow solutions to run... and grow your business. All those in favor of making an executive decision in improving your Canadian business financing access say aye. It's resolved! Let's dig in.
Doesn't the timing to reassess your working capital cash flow needs seem appropriate? Working capital finance solutions are available, and they are not always what you thought they might be.
It's rare that any business, especially those with SME COMMERCIAL FINANCE needs, doesn’t, at some time, have cash flow challenges that haunt the business owner/financial mgr. on a daily, intermediate, or even a long term basis.
Your ability to put together effective techniques and solutions around working capital financing always goes back o the management of your short term assets such as cash, receivables, and inventories.
The reality? It’s a balancing act that challenges you every day, we know that. The cash requirements come out of the need to meet your day to day expenses, pay employees, and make payments on any debt obligations you have.
In talking to clients inventory levels that allow you to run your business, minimize constant re ordering, and taking advantage of price and volume discounts continue to be a main challenge.
Can this challenge be addressed? It sure can, and in a number of ways.
Here's a solution to consider:
Arrange a long term unsecured working capital loan to address product needs - alternatively you can blend the borrowing power of your receivables and inventory on a combo basis via a working capital facility that margins receivables and inventory. This facility, called an asset based line of credit when it's for a larger amount will turn your company into a constant cash flow machine if you manage it properly.
We point out to clients that this type of working capital cash flow facility we just described is offered by a non bank private finance firm, so we encourage clients to speak to a Canadian business financing advisor as to how these facilities work.
Are there internal steps you can take to accelerate cash flow? There are. You can amend credit policies, shorter your payment terms, extend those terms, or simply collect your receivables more efficiently and aggressively. Those are all measures of how you identify your credit policy. The other side of that coin is how you finance that huge investment you more than likely have in receivables.
In Canada several clear options are available, They include:
Short term working capital/cash advance loans
Sale Leaseback financing
SR&ED tax credit bridge loans
Securitization of receivables - (primarily for larger firms)
There is only one bottom line in working capital cash flow - its simply that you need to understand your cash flow challenge, and then investigate the proper options to remedy that challenge, allowing you to fuel long term growth and profits .
In some cases traditional bank financing, via the right bank and banker will work. When it doesn't consult a credible, experienced and trusted Canadian business financing advisor who will help you identify real world solutions for cash flow success. Time to make that executive decision?
