Lease Financing Needs? Don’t Settle For Average With An Equipment Finance Company Solution











Looking For The Home Team Advantage In Equipment Loans & Lease Finance? We’ve Got One!





OVERVIEW – Information on lease financing in Canada and why it makes sense to have the right equipment financing company in order to maximize equipment finance benefits for your firm . Key advantages of lease finance.




Lease financing needs in Canada, more than ever today, mean you don't have to settle for ' average '. A multitude of solutions for new, used, and even sale leaseback equipment loan strategies are available. Let's dig in.
Wouldn't it be great to have what the sports guys call ' home team advantage'? Advantages in business are great, especially when your competitor is on the other side of that advantage!

That's why we feel the right equipment financing company in effect becomes your home team advantage, as it becomes a partner and solution provider for your lease financing needs.

You probably have already decided why you are going to lease, rather than buy and purchase outright. We start telling clients about things like the tax advantages of equipment financing in Canada, depreciation strategies that follow tax benefits, their ability to manage obsolescence, adding in install and warranty and maintenance into the lease, etc!
But. Know what? All those benefits are great, but firms such as yours more often than not are mostly concerned about cash flow and the concern of drawing down on bank credit lines, etc for equipment that ultimately depreciates or has to be replaced.

So yes, you do need to know all those advantages, and focus on the ones that make the most sense for your company, so you can maximize them -.

The bottom line? Lease financing is mostly regarded as a cash flow tool. The textbooks call it the most efficient use of your resources when you have limited capital - we simply call it a great way to conserve cash flow. That's probably why 80% of North American businesses at some time or another lease.

One of the advantages of lease financing is simply clearly that it covers you from low tech to hi tech. Meaning? Simply that all assets can be properly financed if you partner with the right equipment financing company. That goes from computers and technology that seems to depreciate one second after you purchase it, to your shop floor and office equipment that might give you useful economic benefits for years.


Also, make sure you understand the concept of leasing to own, & leasing to use. That's important! Many clients aren't aware they can structure what’s known as an operating lease whereby they use the asset, minimize their cash flow outflows, and have maximum flexibility at the end of the lease financing transaction.

What is that flexibility? They can utilize one of three options at the end of the term - they can buy the unit, return it, or upgrade/extend the transaction. Tell us that's not flexibility!

So how in fact do you find the right equipment financing company partner? Clients are surprised to hear that there are hundreds of lease finance firms in Canada - some are huge, some are small, some are geographic, some don't want your type of business, some are dying to find you and get your business and provide you with great rates, terms, and structures.

Got all the time in the world these days? If not simply speak to a Canadian business financing advisor who is trusted, credible and experienced in lease financing.

Cost of Factoring Finance :Making The Case For Accounts Receivable Financing











In The Market For A Liquidity Solution? Try Confidential Invoice Receivable Financing!




OVERVIEW – Information on the cost of factoring finance and why Canadian business owners and financial managers should consider adopting an accounts receivable financing facility with confidential invoice and receivable financing for cash flow and profit growth








Accounts receivable financing is a solid way to overcome the working capital and cash flow challenge your firm faces... pretty well every day. Understanding the true cost of factoring finance, and its benefits is therefore important. Let's dig in.

Let's weigh in on those two issues and try and help you solve your Canadian business financing needs - our comments are mainly addressed to small and medium sized companies in Canada, but we can assure you the big boys come to talk to us about these problems also. They use the same solutions - just with fancier names!

The problem? It's simply that the ability to maintain ongoing liquidity continues to be the largest challenge in business today.

The ability to get proper business financing credit and the perceived cost of factoring finance is always a discussion point we have with clients. Working capital and cash flow are needed to keep up to your day to day operations, let alone grow your business in the manner that you want to.

No naysayers here, so let’s address our real subject here, which is accounts receivable financing, the cost of factoring financing ( that's what it is commonly known as ) as well as the benefits of what we feel is the greatest secret in Canadian business today, a confidential invoice and receivable financing facility.

So what’s it all about? A true accounts receivable financing strategy is actually quite simple. The paperwork has you selling your sales as you generate them - receiving cash, the same day! That of course is better than waiting 1, 2, and yes dare we say 3 months to collect your A/R. That brings us nicely into the area of the cost of factoring finance - which in Canada ranges typically to 1.25 -2% per month.

Is that expensive? Not necessarily, but you decide based on these facts. This charge, which is known in the industry as a discount fee, not an interest rate per se, can be significantly offset by your new ability to take supplier discounts in the same amount, as well as purchase more effectively.

The positive intangible around this is that you will build better supplier relationships than your competitors probably have, simply because suppliers love being paid.

And don't forget what we said early, which is that you , instead of waiting 60-90 days to get paid have cash flow to sell more and creates profits to offset this financing cost .

A winning combo?

Increased cash flow to reduce payables

Unlimited cash flow based on your sales growth


(We have met customers who have negotiated 5% better pricing with their suppliers based on their new found ability to pay cash.
The best type of accounts receivable financing facility in Canada is what we call a Confidential Invoice Financing. You bill and collect your own invoices, unlike your competitors who use traditional ' old style ‘factor financing.

Intrigued? Interested? Hopefully not confused! Investigate the benefits of accounts receivable factoring finance with the use of a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor. It's a cash flow 101 great strategy.

Business Financing methods? Asset Based Lending In Canada Today – 1 2 3 You’re Saved !











Can Asset Based Lending Also Be Your Working Capital Solution?



OVERVIEW – Information on business financing methods in Canada and how asset based lending gains momentum for firms looked for larger operating facilities to facilitate working capital and growth needs








Asset based lending in Canada is one solution that many Canadian business owners and financial mgr's might not be aware of. Although it's one of those business financing methods / alternatives you might not know you should be aware of what it is and... how it works. Let's dig in.

We're examining asset based financing from the viewpoint of it being an alternative to a bank line of credit facility. Another way of describing this type of facility is to view it as the full service offering that is directly comparable to a Canadian chartered bank facility, commonly called an operating line of credit.

These types of facilities are of course not long term debt of term loan type scenarios. Can we put it any more simply than it’s your day to day business credit facility that facilitates payment to suppliers, employees, etc? And by the way it's a great way to grow your business lock step with the financing you need.

What we could call the ' full service ' asset based financing lending model is a facility that is usually a non bank financing arrangement with an independent finance firm that specializes in this type of facility .
It monetizes your current assets, which are typically receivables and inventory. However , there is often what we could describe as an upside kicker to the asset based line of credit because it can also easily margin, from a working capital perspective any unencumbered equipment and real estate that you have .

The other unique way in which asset based lending addressing working capital is that it also allows you, if you choose to margin and borrow against your equipment and real estate, all under that revolving line of credit facility .

In discussing this financing alternative with clients we point out that the alternative to the full service type of facility (which is typically for larger firms) is an asset based financing lending facility that we call a working capital line of credit. It is generally under 250k and typically just finances receivables. Our favorite and in fact preferred type of facility is one in which your receivables are financed directly but you retain billing and collection control. We call that Confidential Receivable financing!

Questions? Typically clients ask:

What does it cost?

How does it work?

Is it the right solution for my firm?


Depending on the size of your facility pricing for asset based lines of credit can be very competitive to bank rates. Larger facilities take 30-45 days to fully set up properly. It should be no secret to the reader that a typical application would include a business credit application, financial statements, and aged asset lists of receivables and inventory.

How is the size of the facility determined? Receivables are margined at 90% and inventory, depending on your industry, can be margined from anywhere from 25-70% in our experience. Most firms could never get that amount of financing on inventory from a bank.

So what’s all the hoopla? We can summarize it by saying its simply an alternative to bank financing when you can’t meet bank criteria , its competitive if you have a solid asset base and business prospects , and it provides you with unlimited cash flow and working capital funding as your business grows .


Confused? Hopefully not. Interested - hopefully so. Speak to a trusted , credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor as to what business financing methods might alter your firms success and investigate asset based financing lending as a solid choice or alternative .

Equipment Leasing In Canada : How To Not Give Up On Business Leasing Challenge For New Assets







The Key To Improving Asset Acquisition Success For Your Business ? It’s Equipment Lease Finance!


OVERVIEW – Information on equipment financing in Canada and reasons why leasing for business makes sense from a viewpoint of cash flow management , quick approvals, and other financial benefits




Equipment financing in Canada should revolve around getting the facts for business leasing needs. Business owners and financial mgrs want the reasons, and the facts around getting new assets for their businesses. Leasing has never been more popular. Let's dig in.

We're examining the reasons and facts to ensure you are well informed when you are looking to acquire capital assets for your business. By the way , capital assets sure is a broad term, because it covers technology , plant equipment, business equipment, rolling stock, even your corporate jet .. (We know ' you wish ...').

So why are hundreds of millions of dollars, probably billions of dollars leased in Canada every year under an equipment financing strategy? It all comes down to a common saying among leasing people, which is simply:

You generate profits and sales by using assets, not owning or paying outright for them!

The good news about leasing for business is that the key word is flexibility - credit approvals are more flexible, cash flows can easily be structured to meet your needs, and various balance sheet and tax benefits accrue to companies who lease.
We find in talking to clients looking for innovative lease financing options that we can talk all we want about off balance sheet, tax benefits, depreciation strategies, etc - but, at the end of the day they are simply concerned with getting credit approval and conserving cash.

The alternative might be to acquire assets via your bank lines or term loans from you bank - but that can potentially pose problems down the road.

When we talk to companies that are using effective equipment financing strategies we find, more often than not, that they are simply ahead of their competition in innovative assets that drive revenues and profits. That's simply of course because there is no huge outlay of capital when acquiring these assets, which more likely than not are depreciating anyway.

Don't forget also that taxes are paid as part of your monthly installment when are leasing for business assets - a classic working capital conservation strategy. The bottom line is that your firm can grow when you have the ability to conserve cash flow and use it for operating needs and further re investment.

So who do you choose when looking for a leasing partner? That too is a huge challenge. There are hundreds of firms, many are in fact not Canadian, and all firms have different credit, deal size, and interest rate policies related to how transactions are structured.

If you are looking for a quick way to navigate the entire equipment financing marketplace in Canada speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who will assist you in completing a transaction that makes sense and achieves the approval and benefits your firm is looking for.

Asset Based Lending In Canada : Heard About Canada’s Newest Business Line Of Credit Solution ?










Keep Your Company Moving With An Asset Based Lending Operating Line Of Credit - Your Competitors Do !



OVERVIEW – Information on asset based lending as Canada’s newest form of business lending via an operating line of credit . Why this solution works for your firm





Asset based lending in Canada. Every business keeps an eye on its competitors - that's what business is about. You've been watching those competitors and it's quite disturbing .So what does the competition know about this new type of business operating line of credit? Let's dig in.

Ever wondered by some of your competition out there seems to be enjoying what seems like unlimited cash flow for their sales and growth and expansion.

We think we know the reason why, and it’s called asset based lending - 'ABL' for short .This type of business financing, relatively speaking is new to Canada and supercharges cash flow and liquidity.


Naturally our clients, being the conservative types they are wonder aloud about several key issues, as in:

What are the qualifications for this type of financing?

What is the min and max deal size - Spoiler alert - there's no max, but there's a min!

What are some of the costs of this type of financing?


Let's cover those issues off in an effort to ensure you understand the power of asset based lending and why this type of operating line of credit could be your savior in business financing.

Qualifications? Just one - Business assets! Otherwise asset based lending doesn't work. The asset based line of credit competes with the operating line of credit offered by Canadian chartered banks. It is provided by non bank institutions that are specialized in asset based lending.

But what about banks, ask our clients? Banks are specialized in financial statements! What we mean by that of course is simply that charted bank business lines of credit in Canada focus on overall financial statement quality - the key underpinnings are solid financial statements reflecting profit, equity, liquidity, and overall solid cash flow. It's great business credit, if you can get it.

On the other hand the asset based lender only wants to know one thing - well two actually, do you have assets and are they managed well. What are those assets - they tend to be receivables, inventory, and in some cases equipment and real estate.

These assets mentioned above secured an operating line of credit which is margined on a regular basis. What interests our clients is of course the margining of those assets, and asset based lending does that very well.

So how much can you borrow / draw down? Typical structures are 90% of receivables, 50-75% advances on inventory (yes you heard us correctly) and working capital financing provided on the appraised value of hard assets that are unencumbered - i.e. the real estate and equipment if you have them and need financing for them.

Facility sizes for asset based lending tend to start at 250k and above - otherwise the facility , if under that amount, tends to be a receivable financing facility , which by the way works quite nicely also . There really is no maximum amt you can borrow as long as your business assets back up the drawdown.

Circling back to our final client question - cost. We can make a general statement that if your deal size is significant, i.e. over 5m you can generally achieve rates that are comparable with the bank.

Facilities under that amount are more expensive than bank financing - but , guess what ,you get all the liquidity you need, which has its benefits are growing your business, turning your assets faster, enhancing relationships with suppliers, and taking on more business than you ever could before .

Looking for an operating line of credit -? ABL could be your solution - Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor today on this new form of financing your working capital.
