Receivable Factoring – The Two Things You Need to Know !













We're Looking Inside the Box on Canadian Receivable Financing- Here's What We Found!

Information on A/R Financing Solutions In Canada


Canadian business owners and financial managers can make some big, painful, expensive and time consuming mistakes when they choose the wrong factoring facility.  In a previous article we highlight three popular misconceptions about factoring – they were:

-Factoring is the pledging of receivables

- Factoring is expensive

- All receivable financing services and facilities are essentially the same

We provided information that clearly showed that there are a number of fallacies and myths about the factoring of receivables in Canada, and that the prudent business owner needs to investigate the true costs and ‘how to’ of factoring in Canada.
Let’s now share two other major misconceptions around this method of business financing in Canada. They are as follows:
  • Factoring is very intrusive to my customers and suppliers (NOT NECESSARILY!)

  • All factoring companies are essentially the same (WRONG!)

Before we examine these two popular business misconceptions lets take a very brief step back and recap what receivable factoring is.

Canadian business, more than ever, needs cash flow and working capital to survive. Many traditional sources have either disappeared, dried up, so to speak, or simply are not available in the current business climate. Primarily we are of course referring to generous bank lines of credit for receivables and inventory. Business must go on, so how do business owners resolve these temporary cash crunches. One alternative is factoring.

The other alternative is a term loan, which has fixed payments, and generally extends for a period of three to five years. So the business owner must decide whether to focus on short term working capital – i.e. a factoring solution, or permanent working capital via a term loan or more owner equity.
So now let’s debunk out two myths surround factoring.

In a traditional what we will call the U.S. model of factoring we will agree that factoring, otherwise known as receivable discounting is in fact intrusive. The factor firm has the ability to in essence take control of your entire receivables function, including invoicing your customers with notification from themselves, dunning letters and calls for collection, and the insistence of payments being made directly to their firm. Is this intrusive – we certainly think so.

 Is this the only alternative for Canadian business – absolutely not? Prudent business owners will seek the advice of an experienced, trusted, and credible advisor in business financing who will structure a facility that allows them to collect their own receivables. Under this scenario they will reap the benefits of factoring ( Immediate cash, increased working capital ) while at the same time preserving customer good will . So the bottom line is, yes, if you enter into the wrong type of facility, factoring will be deemed intrusive, but you have options and you should investigate those with professional assistance.


Now let’s cover our final misconception – ‘all factoring firms are the same’. The reality is that if you are not an expert in this unique form of business financing then you can probably be forgiven for having talked to a few firms and drawn the conclusion they have the same product and service offering. The reality – Nothing could be further from the truth. Factor firms in Canada are sorted by geography, ownership (many are just branches of U.S. and U.K.operations) their own capital and borrowing structure, and, most importantly, how they do business on a day to day with you and your customers.

When we talk to clients about factoring solutions we recommend they focus on firms that have a nominal holdback, competitive rates, and , most importantly, are comfortable in allowing you to do your own billing and collecting . Naturally at the same time you are in a position to reap the key benefits of receivable financing, which is cash flow and working capital leverage you did not have.


Talk to an expert, sort out the good from the not so good, and focus on a receivable financing facility that meets your cash flow and growth needs. That’s solid business financing.

Benefits of a Commercial Equipment Lease for Canadian Business















The Business Of Financing Assets For Your Company




Information on the benefits of commercial equipment lease financing in Canada







Canadian business owners and financial managers are constantly challenged to come up with financing alternatives for both working capital and the asset acquisition.


Let's focus on why a commercial equipment lease provides your firm with some of the best financing benefits and alternatives. In order to be successful in financing equipment it is important to know several key things - we can summarize those in a few critical categories:

- Understanding what lease company is the best fit for your firm

- Focusing on what benefits are important to you in an asset acquisition

- You must have the ability to de-mystify lease pricing and rates and structures to ensure you are getting a competitive market rate and structure


When you make the equipment asset purchase decision you are always faced with what is known as the ' lease vs. buy ' scenario. We don’t intend to make out information shared here an accounting lesson, but either using a lease vs. buy calculator or template, or, even better, speaking to your accountant you can easily come up with a rudimentary analysis of what the best financing option is . If it is lease financing then you are ready to move forward.


We talked about our critical point # 1 - which is simply to understand who your best lessor might be. The factors that determine this might seem like common sense - they are: The type of asset you are acquiring, the dollar value of the asset, and the overall credit quality of your firm you are in a position to focus on the firms that finance this type of asset.


The good news is that there are hundreds of lease financing sources in Canada - the flip side of that coin is that you might not have the time to invest in speaking to 100 different firms.


In most cases in makes a lot of sense to seek out the service of a lease financing expert who will be in a position to source the optimal funding as well as the best rate, term, and structure.


We advise all clients that, if they can, they should try and determine if the manufacturer provides financing - this is known as ‘captive ' financing and 99% of the time is your best deal - and fastest approval . That’s simply because the mfr. finance arm is incented to move product, as well as earn some income on the financing of course!


We talked in point # 2 about focusing on benefits - Leasing has numerous benefits. It would be rare that every benefit applies to every firm - so we recommend to clients that they outline what is most important to them with respect to the financing of this asset - those considerations might be a lease to own financing, or in some cases, an ' operating lease, which is akin to a short term rental, although a typical operating lease might range between 2-3 years in duration. The benefit of that type of financing is simply that your benefit from the use of the asset, not the ownership of it, and profiting through use of the asset is what it’s all about in business.


We tell clients that we aren’t necessarily overly proud of the way the industry sometimes confuses customers with a myriad of terminology and options, these includes references to FM, skip payments,

First and last, full payout, bargain purchase option, etc.


The most important piece of advice we can give a client is simply that by properly positioning their current financial position, demonstrating profit through use of the asset, and knowing whats important to them re payments, approval, lease term, etc should in fact allow them to maintain a control position in any lease financing negotiation.


Be an informed lessee in your search for a commercial equipment lease, understand that the market is competitive and people do want your business, and focus in on what financing equipment benefits work best for your firms sales and profit prospects.

Give Me Ten Reasons Why My Firm Should Consider Lease Financing!














Equipment lease financing is an alternative choice for firms who wish to acquire capital equipment and other assets. Typically the other two methods to acquire such assets are either a cash purchase, or a loan of some sorts, usually via a bank.

The lease financing solution can frequently offer significant cost savings to the borrower, know as the 'lessee'. However, this is not just an expense strategy; there are numerous other reasons why this type of financing should be considered.

As an example, a lease transaction that requires only a low down payment might assist the company who has a lot of working capital tied up in receivables and inventory. Receivables and inventory typically represent the largest components of a company's working capital.

If a customer chooses to purchase the equipment instead they are in effect giving up certain key rights they have in a lease - for example, upgrading equipment, early cancellations, etc.

Normally when a customer considers either a lease or buy decision the business owner or financial manager would prefer to focus on ' hard dollar ' savings; while this is optimal of course many of the benefits of leasing in effect are intangible and should still be considered as part of the acquisition strategy. Let's look at some of those intangible benefits.

1. Credit Power - many lease firms have less restrictive credit qualifications than banks or other financial institutions. This is more so the case when the lessor is actually the manufacturer of the equipment!

2. Final Disposition - the company avoids having to dispose of the assets at the end of the term of the lease

3.
Timing is everything - Lease approvals tend to be faster to obtain than a loan or bank type financing

4. Payment alternatives - many lessor allow skipped payments, seasonal payments and structured payments - example: A snow plough operator might request lower payments in summer when business is slow, etc

5.
Bank lines untouched - in the current economic and banking environment businesses find it more difficult to access, or even maintain their bank lines - leasing leaves those lines untouched

.6 Budget issues - Leasing eliminates one the of largest obstacles to a customers ability to acquire equipment - the cost of the machine. Many firms have budget issues and the lease strategy allows them to in some ways circumvent that strategy and pay the lease through an operating budget, not a capex budget

7. When a customer is concerned about warranties or maintenance of the equipment he has significant leverage, via payments, to influence a high level of service from the manufacturer or lessor.

8. Use of asset - if a customer over uses an asset he does not necessarily have to reimburse the lessor

9. Down payment - Leasing requires only a small down payment

10. Balance Sheet optics - Properly structured leases can have the effect of enhancing the customer's balance sheet as the liability does not appear on the balance sheet - Customers want to use equipment to generate profits, they don't necessarily want to own it.

In summary, yes the business owner and manager would prefer a hard dollar evaluation of any asset acquisition, but we have shown that there are many intangibles to consider also, many of which could benefit the firm in a number of ways and have a significant impact on their business growth, financing, and profit.

Cash Flow and Business Valuation














When business owners and their financial advisors review a firm for acquisition purposes one of their main goals is the assessment of 'cash flow '. Business generates cash flows from three sources:

Their operations/profits

Investments into the business

Borrowing activities


When cash flows are being assessed the business owner, or their advisor is really going through 5 key areas of the business cash. Those areas are as follows:

1. Reviewing the income statement

2. Analyzing what cash needs to be spent on new equipment, plant, etc

3. Checking the overall working capital situation

4. Determining the total annual cash flows

5. Putting a value on those future cash flows


Where does the acquirer begin in this entire process? A careful review is made of the income statement with respect to gross profit margins and fine net income. After determining that final net income number the analyst ' adds back ' the amount of deprecation the company took, as it was not a real cash outlay.

This leaves us with somewhat of the 'magic number '- aka 'EBIT '. (Earnings before interest and taxes)

Careful analysis is made of the income statement - all the basics are reviewed: sales goals, material costs, profits, and the administrative expenses. Since the business owner is making an investment in the future when he buys a firm generally the above analysis is done for 3-5 years out.

We then carefully look at all equipment (point 2 above) and determine useful life and replacement needs.

Item 3 brings us to working capital analysis. As sales grow we need to carry more inventory and receivables, balance by what our suppliers will give us for credit, as well as what we can negotiate with the bank for operating facilities

The business owner, the acquirer also will review what is known as the 'terminal value' of the cash flow. This is a more complicated analysis involving projected cash flows divided by the cost of capital - growth.

We are in the home stretch - the final part of our analysis takes those future free cash flows and does a present value calculation to see what they are worth today.

In summary, whether Wall Street analysts are contemplating a multi billion dollar merger, or if a business owner is looking to buy Bob's Seed Supply the above valuation techniques are those that are always used by business acquirers and their advisors. The company, and its cash, is looked at from every angle in order to determine possible issues and changes required. A solid cash flow valuation will make or break the quality of the acquisition. The owner is 'counting' on that!

SR&ED Tax Financing : Cash and Working Capital for your R&D Credit
















SR&ED Financing ! More Than Fascinating.. and it Works!




Information on the benefits of sr&ed tax credit financing in Canada. Monetizing your refundable r&d capital refund is a key component of cash flow success around this govt program




SR&ED Financing, (also often pronounced ' SRED Financing' ... we'll use the term interchangeably ) is a tremendous way for Canadian firms to monetize their research and development tax credit claims in order to generate additional cash flow and working capital for their business .


It is of course common sense that to finance a claim and get funds now you have to have a claim filed! Canada's sred program and absolutely one of the most positive, beneficial and proactive non repayable grant programs that exists in Canada, bar none.


Over the years we have met with many clients who, unfortunately, haven’t even heard of the program, at that same time for years they have been allocating considerable funds to research and development in manufacturing, software creation, etc. We say software for a specific example, because in many ways it is one of the most obvious areas for sred, and your ability to generate a sred loan against software development is virtually almost guaranteed. But our point simply is that any R&D you do probably can be assessed for research and experimental development - That’s where the acronym comes for Scientific Research and Experimental Development = S R E D!


Many professionals in the SRED area advise our clients that out of the several billion dollars that the government hands out now for the program that almost twice as much remains unclaimed by Canadian business simply for the fact that firms have not heard of the program . One of the key cornerstones of the program is the term ' uncertainty ' - if your firm is working on products, processes etc and is unsure of the final result , and funds are expended against that research then clearly that’s SRED !


Well up to this point we have talked about the program, detailed when it is available, now let’s focus on generating cash for our R&D expense.


You have two options after you have prepared a sred claim and filed it. They are not very complex options:


1. You can wait for your technical audit, financial audit and the government cheque, which will of course arrive many months down the road. If it is your first filing the process will take quite a bit longer.


2. You can finance, or ' discount' - we can even call it ' factor ' your sred to generate a sred loan for immediate working capital.


SRED Loans can be generated immediately after the filing of your claim. Many of our clients actually start the financing process earlier, and the reality is that funds could be advanced exactly at the time of filing. Many firms are very surprised to hear that in certain circumstances you are actually eligible to receive funds during the year, prior to filing - We have termed this process as ' accrual sred financing ‘. A few more criteria are attached to this process, but isn’t it a great idea to know that your R&D could be funded along the way as you dispense your own capital for the projects.


'Whats involved in a SR&ED financing'? Clients ask. To keep things simply we simply advise that they should view a sred financing in the same manner they view and business financing or working capital financing application. It’s a clear defined process which is as follows:


- Prepare a SRED claim (more often than not with the help of an external consultant)

- File the Claim

- Complete a business financing application


It's as simple as that. Typical back up documentation and due diligence that you would associate with any financing of your firm applies.


Oh, and a final question we always get - How much can I get and how do payments work. The good news is typically there are no payments made, you get usually around 70% of the claim value on approval, and the balance could be called a holdback or buffer. When your cheque is processed by the government and the grant is mailed to you the additional 30% is of course released, less the financing charges.


Consider monetizing your SR&ED claim for valuable cash flow and working capital generation.

Financing Sr&ed Credits – Access Working Capital Via SR ED Discounting









Financing Your SR&ED Credits Promptly and Successfully Is A Thing To Behold !





Information on how finance SR&ED credits for working capital . Understanding the benefits of financing SR ED to accelerate recovery of your r&d capital investments





Canadian business owners and financial managers should consider financing sr&ed credits as a source of working capital and cash flow. It is a unique and alternative financing strategy that monetizes your Sr&Ed tax credit, and has no long term effects of adding debt to your balance sheet. All you are doing is simply ‘cash flowing’ or receiving your refund now instead of waiting for a potentially long time for your government refund cheque.

Business owners who file claims under the program already are keenly aware of the power of this great Canadian government program. Hundreds of Millions of dollars are refunding annually to your firm and your competitors – why not get a step ahead of the competition and turn that SR ED credit into immediate working capital.

Naturally the amount of your sred financing is related very directly to the total amount of your filed SR ED claim. Therefore it is in the best interests of every Canadian business owner who files under the program to maximize the size of their claim. They do that by working with a solid accountant or sred consultant who understands the true nature of the program. It is a misnomer that your research and development must be ‘successful ‘in the true sense of the word. The reality is that a proper sred claim is often increased simply by proving that you had significant trial and error in those business processes and research that you are documenting.

Anyway, you are aware of the program; you have filed a claim, or are in the process of filing a claim. What now? Consider financing the claim and turning your refund into immediate cash. Clients we work worthy with typically utilize funds in a SR ED financing to reduce payables, invest in additional research, buy equipment, or focus on investing in more direct marketing and sales The bottom line is that when you finance you SR&ED claim funds can be used for any worthwhile corporate purpose .

How does SR ED funding work? It’s really complimentary to any type of business financing you have ever done. You are not taking on debt; you are simply converting a receivable, i.e. your SR&ED credit, into cash. The best and most easy way to think of a sred financing is simply that you are factoring or discounting your claim. The funds will be repaid to the SR ED lender when you claim is approved by the government and your provincial government. (There is a Federal and Provincial component to each Sr&Ed claim)

You can access approximately 70% of the total claim you have filed. If the claim has already been approved by Ottawa and you are just waiting for the confirmed refund the 70% loan to value we just referred to can even be increased in many cases.

Even more sophisticated firms that finance their SR ED claims annually are not aware that under the right circumstances they can receive funds even prior to filing! That process is called a Sr&Ed accrual loan. That’s really staying one step ahead of the competition!

Financing SRED claims in Canada is a boutique financing. You accomplish it successfully when you work with a trusted, credible and experienced financing advisor re sred claims. The process involves a simply business financing application, copies of your sred filing, and miscellaneous business back up material to substantiate the sred loan. The total focus of the loan relies heavily on the actual claim itself, not the overall credit worthiness of your claim, as some might believe.

If you are filing sred you can stay ahead of the competition by considering of financing your claim. It’s a simple process that can be completed in a couple of weeks with your full co operation of back up info, etc. Your sred claim is already not repayable to the government, as it’s a grant, so consider supercharging that program by immediately monetizing your claim in valuable cash flow and working capital.
