Working Capital Factoring – Invoice Factoring Canada

Cash Flow Financing For Your Business Should Not Be ' Lost Hope ' : Alternative Finance To The Rescue

Information on working capital factoring in Canada . Understanding the benefits of alternative finance solutions such as factoring and asset based lines of credit is key to cash flow success when traditional bank financing is not available

Working Capital via factoring continues to be a viable solution for Canadian business owners and financial managers. The process at first glance is quite simple – your firm ‘sells’ its invoices to generate immediate same day cash for those invoice assets.


Clients ask us how this is different from a bank operating line of credit based on receivables. Simply speaking the difference is simply the method in which the asset – the receivables, is secured. In a Canadian chartered banking type arrangement your receivables are ‘assigned ‘, not ‘sold’ to the bank. The bank holds that assignment as a security for their advances on your receivables – they do not call the security unless your firm defaults on its obligations with the bank.


For those firms that can achieve bank operating line of credit financing in Canada that solution is absolutely the most cost effective – yet in many instances Canadian firms cannot achieve the amount of credit they need because the receivables financing is closely tied to your balance sheet and income statement from a credit perspective .


The majority of factoring ( also known as invoice discounting ) in Canada is done on a recourse basis, which simply means that although you get immediate cash for your receivables you are still responsible for any bad debts relative to your customer base .


In Canada most of factoring is done via a U.S. based model of doing business, which has the factor firm essentially verifying and collecting those invoices from your customers. We advise our clients on an alternative method, known as non notification factoring. This type of facility, which we term as a working capital facility, allows you to bill and collect your own receivables and avoid some of the negative stigma that Canadian business owners attach to factoring.


Factoring should most often be considered when your business is growing quickly or has large orders from generally credit worthy customers. Your ability to turn your receivables over more quickly will lead to more sales and greater profits. The cost of factoring is significantly higher than bank financing, but your ability to make use of the cash flow to buy smarter, take advantage of discounts, and purchase and resell more inventory faster significantly offsets a very large part of the cost of factoring in Canada, which can range anywhere from 1-3% on a monthly basis . We caution clients to view this cost as an operating expense as opposed to a financing or interest charge, which allow them to much better rationalize moving to this type of working capital facility.


In summary, factoring is an alternative to bank receivables financing. The facility, when properly set up, allows you to immediately monetize a large asset, your receivables. The best type of facility in Canada, in our opinion, is the non-notification type facility, allowing you to cash flow your receivables similar to a banking arrangement. When properly utilized the facility can help you grow and profit from faster working capital turnover.

Asset Leasing – What You Need to Know for Leasing Financing In Canada

Critical Factors Around Asset Leasing and Lease Financing Benefits And Risks in Canada

Information on asset leasing and leasing financing in Canada . The ability to finance assets properly is key to long term business success

Canadian business owners and financial managers rely on asset finance and leasing as a key part of their overall business financing strategy. But what do you need to know properly access this type of financing and where do you source the financing? Those are the key questions we’ll discuss.


Canadian independent leasing companies provide hundreds of millions of dollars of business, asset, and equipment financing for business in Canada. They are a strong alternative to bank financing because they are very focused on their product and service delivery, and in many cases will always go the extra mile to ensure you have received a transaction that has the proper rate, term and structure. Because of the perceived, or real?

Complexity in asset financing us strong recommend to clients that you work with a trusted, credible and experienced advisor in this area. Your ability to even generate one major benefit on the transaction could save you thousands of dollars depending on your overall deal size. It is important to understand that these firms only finance the assets, they do not service them, and unless they are a captive finance firm , ( i.e. owned by a manufacturer) it is of course up to you to negotiate the sources and pricing of your acquisitions .


The key benefit of leasing finance is that the equipment you are looking for will be paid by the lessor – you receive the equipment, confirm it’s in working order, running, etc, and then you use that asst to generate hopefully profits and revenues.


One of the biggest decisions you need to make around an asset leasing scenario is simply the type of lease that you want to enter into – they are two types of leases, one is called capital lease, the other is an operating lease, and your decision should be driven around really one key question – do you want to own the asset ultimately, or do you want to simply use it and have the ability to return it at the end of the term. That latter type of lease is an operating lease – not all our clients are familiar with this type of leasing finance strategy – but it can bring significant benefits to your firm.


Other critical factors you have to focus on are the term of the lease, and special options you might be able to negotiate around payments. We spoke of the two types of leases, capital (lease to own) and operating (lease to use).


In Canada the major banks have a limited focus on lease financing. They certainly are also not able to offer operating leases, as their interest is certainly not to own assets at the end of term. Leasing finance through a bank is usually a much better overall rate to your firm, however you have to be in a position to meet the more stringent credit criteria that they require – Also it is our observation that banks that do lease financing in Canada will want to solicit all of your business financing – which may prejudice any other relationship you have in place.


So whats our bottom line – simply that asset leasing and lease financing in Canada is the proven alternative for your asset finance strategy. Speak to an expert, focus on your options, and know which type of lease makes the most sense for your firm. There is not panacea of perfect financing decisions in Canada, in fact it might make sense on occasion not to choose lease financing, but weight the advantages and disadvantages and you will be in a solid position to ensure that the proper evaluation of benefits will lead you to the right business financing decision.

Canadian Lease Financing – Equipment Leasing Options Canada

Don't Ever Listen To Anyone About Leasing Equipment ... Until You've Read This


Information on Canadian lease financing and equipment finance solutions in Canada. It's important to know the lay of the land

Canadian Lease equipment financing continues to be one of the most successful means for a company to acquire assets of all types.


Unfortunately most clients we talk to are always focused on rate, which in many cases is only one small piece of the Canadian asset, based lending puzzle, and solution.

In Canada equipment of all types can be leased - that includes capital expenditure items from 5k to 50M dollars.

What should Canadian business owners focus on and seek guidance on when acquiring assets via the leasing option. We think three things are important -


- Who to lease from

- What are the key elements of a successful lease structure?

- What is required for an approval that meets your firms needs Vis a Vis rate, term, and structure.


In Canada the leasing industry is very fragmented. Like all other parts of the financial services industry the business has gone through major tumult in the last couple years, particularly the 2008-2009 global financial meltdowns.


So who are the players and why is it important to know who you are leasing with, as long as you are approved? Good question?! Let's explore the answer.


In Canada the leasing industry is self regulated via a national association called the CFLA. The companies that make up the industry are:


- Major international conglomerates and their Canadian subsidiaries

- Canadian owned private independent finance firms

- Captive finance Companies

- Independent lease originators, also known as intermediaries


So why is it important to understand who you are dealing with? Time is money, and a significant amount of time can be spent with a lessor who you think might be able to do the transaction for you, but ultimately your firm might not fit the asset and credit criteria required .


We referenced the major international conglomerates; a well known example might be GE. The reality is that these firms predominately focus on very high ticket value transactions with commensurately high credit quality criteria. We have spoken to many customers who have invested time, commitment fees, etc only to find they were in effect dealing with a firm that was unable to satisfy the size of their transaction.


Private independent lease firms in Canada tend to have niches - in the industry the term is ' credit box ‘. That simply means they only solicit a certain type of asset and credit quality - any transaction falling outside the box becomes not doable. Again, you may have totally wasted your time.


We are the first to advise clients that if they can get lease financing via a captive finance company or a vendor program via the manufacturer there is only one recommendation - ' Take the Deal!" Vendor and Captive programs are highly incented to finance assets at competitive rates and sometimes overlook the rational credit quality that is required to get a deal approved.


Recall that our final lessor category is independent finance originators, aka intermediaries - we hate the term broker by the way. The key benefit of working with a trusted, credible, and experienced advisor in lease financing in Canada is simply a time/ money scenario. You can spend hours, days, and weeks negotiating with firms who ultimately can’t do your transaction. Along the way you may have laid out commitment fees as well as having your firms financials viewed by a number of different parties with whom you may never do business .


Our experience is that people prefer to deal with experts. Why wouldn’t you want to work with an expert that can assist you in achieving the optimal rate, term, structure, etc? Simply things such as a recommendation on the type of lease you choose (capital or operating) can save you firms either thousands in interest, or have a significant effect on monthly payments. That is a solid acquisition financing strategy!

Working Capital Financing – Why Asset Based Lines of Credit Work

Tweet

Are You Thinking Of Business Credit Lines A Lot These Days?

How can Canadian business owners and financial mangers secure working capital financing and cash flow financing for their business at a time when it seems that access to business financing provides significant challenges?


The answer is that a potential solid solution exists by the name of an ‘asset based line of credit ‘otherwise what we call a ‘working capital facility ‘. What is this type of financing is it new to Canada, and more importantly – how does it work and what are the benefits and risks?

Although asset based lenders tend to be specialized independent finance firms many business people are surprised to find that deep in the bowels of a few Canadian bank there exists small ,  somewhat boutique , divisions who specialize in asset based lending . Ironically they are many times competing with their peers down the hall in more traditional commercial corporate banking.

The most active assets these firms finance tend to be ongoing receivables and inventory, but in many cases, utilizing an expert advisor or partner you can structure a facility that also includes a component of equipment and real estate.


Generally speaking a good way to think of an asset based line of credit is one that  for a temporary period, typically a year or so in our experience, allows you to margin up and get higher advances on receivables and inventory . That translates into more cash flow and working capital.


One of the main attractions of an asset based lending facility (insiders call it an ABL facility) is that your firms overall credit quality doesn’t play the largest role in determining if you can get approved for this type of financing. As its name suggest, financing is on your ‘assets ‘!  And doesn’t really focus on debt to equity ratios, cash flow coverage, loan covenants, and outside collateral.  Business owners who borrow from Canadian chartered banks on an operating or term loan basis are of course very familiar with those terms  - in some ways we could call them ‘ restrictions ‘

Most lawyers and accountants will tell you that any type of business borrowing should in fact be entertained only with a respected, trusted and credible business financing advisor who can guide you thru the roadblocks and pitfalls of any commercial financing arrangement. Missteps in business financing can lead to long term negative effects around such issues as being locked into a facility, giving up too much collateral, or being locked into pricing that isn’t commensurate with your overall asset and credit  quality .


What are the key issues you should consider when considering such a financing facility? Primarily they are:

- Advances rates on each asset category (A/R, inventory/equipment)
- How is pricing defined (asset based lines of credit and ABL lending is general is more generous in overall facility size, but you should ensure you are only paying for what you use

- Contractual obligation - in a perfect world (we know its not!) you should be focusing on the ability to pay out at any time, or at a minimum with some form of nominal breakage fee

- Ensure that the asset based lending facility , which generally costs more, will allow to you remain or focus on profitability ; we spend a significant amount of time with clients on how that can defer the additional costs of Abl facilities by several different strategies

So whats the bottom line. As always it’s simple – consider asset based lending and an ABL facility as a solid alternative for financing your business. Work with a trusted advisor as this type of financing is generally either mi understood or not too well known in Canada. Be selective in structuring your facility around issues that work best for your firm re benefits derived .That’s solid business financing sense.

Factoring Your Sr&ED Claim For Working Capital In Canada

Tired Of Waiting For Your SR&ED Refund ? Looking for a Cash Flow Solution Now? This Just In ! We've Got One!

Information on SR&ED Financing in Canada . Factoring or Cash Flowing Your  Sred Refund Now Puts Your Firm Back In The Cash Flow Positive Game!

Canadian business owners and financial managers don’t find waiting productive. So why should you have to wait to finance (in effect it’s a factoring or discounting) your SR ED claim. You shouldn’t have to and we will show you how.


To be able to finance a SR ED claim you of course have to have a SR&ED claim. That makes common sense. Canadian business owners know when they have a significant investment in their research and development and commercialization projects. That is more than intuitive, because they are spending real dollars, often considerable sums, to maintain their competitive edge in products, services, and processes. That’s of course why your firm should be finalizing a claim and filing it as soon as you can in conjunction with your fiscal year end. Naturally once you have filed the claim you can wait anywhere from 3- 12 months for the refund chq to arrive from Toronto or your provincial component from your provinces capital city.


Do you have to wait to recover those funds? Of course you can if you choose, but your claim is financeable if you seek out and talk to a trusted, credible expert in this area. Why not finance your claim, recover those funds now, and continue your investment in leading edge research den processes to maintain your competitive stance within your industry and product or service sector?


So what are the basics of financing that claim . Let’s review them in detail and ensure you have the under pinnings of a successful SR ED financing strategy.


As we mentioned you have to have filed your claim to begin financing it. In our experience the whole process, we tell our clients, takes two to three weeks if your full co operation is provided. Naturally if timing is important you could start the process a little in advance of filing your claim. Any Sr Ed calim can be financed, but those that are prepared by competent parties are in effect ‘more financeable ‘as they have a credibility and experience factor attached to them.


Does your own firm’s financial status play a part in the financing of your SR ED? We can say with assurance that 90% of the SR ED financing questions rely very specifically on using the SR ED as collateral for the financing. But naturally your firm has to be able to demonstrate some sense of on going viability with respect to sales prospects, etc. However lets be honest, many firms are using SR ED tax credits because they are in growth or start up mode, so that should not deter you from contemplating and discussing the financing of your SR ED .


A normal SR ED financing application includes the usual business info data you would submit with any business financing – i.e. info on your firm, its financials, info on the owners, etc. Loans or advances against your claim are generally made at 70% loan to value; in effect you immediately receive 70% of the total amount of your SR ED tax credit calim. The balance is remitte3d to yourself, less financing fees, when you calim is approved and funded in Ottawa.


A proper SR ED financing is structured so that you won’t make any payments while you wait, so it’s a pure cash flow and working capital strategy.


In summary, utilize your tax credits to recover significant portions of all your R&D expenses if you are a privately owned Canadian company. Ensure you consider a SR ED financing strategy if you wish to accelerate SR ED spending or simply use the funds for any general worthwhile purpose. Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced SR ED financing advisor to structure a calim that makes maximum financial sense for your firm.

Lease Equipment or Buy Equipment? - Let's Get Technical!

Tweet

We can safely say that all growing companies need financing to fund ongoing capital expenditures, commonly called 'CAPEX' by CFO's and Wall Street. It goes without saying, also, that even established companies need to replace assets at some point in time.

When companies utilize lease financing they are in effect leverage their capital investments. They could clearly only buy so much with their own capital resources, but borrowing or leasing they can do more than might otherwise have been possible.

There is a technical term called 'WACC', which accountants and financial analyst recognize as WEIGHTED AVERAGE COST OF CAPITAL. As fancy as that term sounds, it simply says that if a company understands how much it costs them to borrow, and then can earn more on a new investment than their borrowing rate, well, then It makes sense to lease. Using a simple example, if a company wishes to purchase a new asset that will deliver a 15% return on assets, and their borrowing cost is 10%, the 5% difference is a major economic positive and benefit to the company. It would not make sense to pursue the asset if borrowing costs were 15% and the return was 12%!!

Naturally at all times business owners and CFO's know that their company can assume only so much debt, as in additional leases, etc. At a certain point there is a threshold that is reached where a company is maxed out on debt.

Leasing also has the ability to defer taxes - in essence its interest free debt. So in these case a major lease financing scenario can also be viewed as a form of deferred taxes, which many financial analysts and bankers view as quasi - equity. And that's a good thing!

Naturally an aggressive lease financing strategy in effect accelerates capital investment, business expansion, etc. The company does not have to pay out 100% of the value of the asset at inception. In companies where capital expenditure and free cash flow are critical those are important measurements of success. The lower investment in a equipment leasing strategy allows a company to invest in other assets and projects. Leasing therefore increases the speed of investment - the company is trading future cash flows for a lower cash outlay now.

In summary, companies debating a lease or buy strategy must ensure they have their primary data correct, re borrowing costs, expected returns of assets/project, etc. The company needs to clearly assess how long the asset will be used for, and ensure It matches the cash flow analysis they are using on that particular asset or project. Customer need to know their borrowing rates, and be realistic, as we have seen that they will be benchmarked against their return rates.
