Inventory & Purchase Order Finance In Canada : Bottom Line ? It's Not Complicated!

Information on key benefits and aspects of business inventory finance and purchase order financing in Canada

Many Canadian business owners and financial managers are not fully aware of the availability and benefits of business inventory and purchase order financing .. These types of financing are very ‘niche ‘and are specialized areas of business financing in Canada.

The reality of these two financings is that they can be arranged individually, but quite often are sought by business owners as a combination as they are inherently linked by their very nature. That is say that your firm receives a purchase order (p.o.) or contract, and as a result required working capital and additional cash flow to buy the inventory required to fulfill those customer needs.

Business owners want to ‘unlock ‘the cash and working capital that they have in inventory. If your firm qualifies for traditional bank financing you will be margined against the inventory, in much the same manner as a bank would margin receivables. The challenge in the current financial environment is that banks, which have traditionally not enjoyed financing inventory, are even somewhat more reluctant to embrace this type of financing these days.


So are there solutions. Yes there are. In Canada you need to seek out and explore the services of a trusted and credible business financing advisor who can guide you through the inventory and po... financing maze. The basic solution to the business inventory finance challenge is a collateralized loan against inventory. What has to be addressed though is the relationship of that loan or working capital advance to the security you might currently have in place against your business vis a vis receivables , etc . That requires somewhat of a skill in order to satisfy all secured parties and give you the working capital you need in a manner that makes sense.

The exercise of obtaining this type of financing is worth if when you have a significant investment in inventory and your inventory asset can be collateralized and liquidated in some manner .We say this , because, as most business owners know inventory come sin three forms, raw materials, work in process, and finished goods. So care must be given in the analysis of what type of inventory you maintain and what are those three different levels within your working capital cycle.

Ultimately you should explore business inventory and purchase order financing ( In p.o. financing your suppliers are paid directly by the purchase order finance firm) if you are always short of cash flow and working capital, or have seasonality in your business cycle – i.e. huge amounts of product required for the Xmas season would be a good example.

Your firm is a candidate for business inventory financing if you can demonstrate the ultimate saleability of the inventory, as it of course becomes the main collateral. If you are unable to demonstrate the marketability of your inventory as collateral you will have a major challenge in obtaining this type of financing.

If your firm identifies inventory as a major working capital component and you have solid gross margins (inventory financing can be more expensive than traditional financing) you should explore the benefits of such business financing.

A Better Way To Finance A Business Loan ? Consider The Asset Finance Strategy

ABL Asset Finance - A Winning Business Financing Solution

Information on how the business loan strategy known as ' ABL Asset Finance ' can be utilized to run and grow your company

When you need asset finance and a business loan in the current economic environment any alternatives are great. One of those solid alternatives is an asset based lending arrangement which focuses on what counts, your assets!


As a business owner and/or financial manager you are looking for business financing that makes sense. ABL is the acronym for one of the more exciting business financing alternatives that is growing in popularity every year in Canada. Are we actually saying that asset finance via an asset based line of credit is ' exciting '? We will let you decide that, but if this financing is easier to achieve than bank financing, is cost effective, and provides you with unlimited capital... well our clients are excited... you make your own thoughts on that !


Asset based lines of credit simply are drawn down by your firm based on the value of ongoing assets. The assets that are always there are inventory, A/R, and to some degree your fixed assets that aren’t already financed. By collateralizing your assets, and, most importantly, leveraging them to the max if you need to, you are creating available working capital.


We are always explaining to clients that this leverage of assets is not taking on debt, you are not borrowing on a long term basis, and you are simply monetizing current and fixed assets based on current values. What are those values, typically they are 90-100% of receivables under 90 days, 40-75% of your inventory, and a liquidation type value on any equipment you want to temporarily monetize. Clients always ask - ' Do you mean that we can borrow, if we need to, on a temporary but ongoing basis on our fixed assets?". The answer is yes, if you are considering this type of financing strategy.


Let’s cover off the two key points clients always tend to focus on when they are investigating this unique business loan strategy- namely costs, and timelines to get the working capital facility in place.


In some ways cost is the most difficult area of explanation and investigation in an asset finance working capital facility. Putting aside the normal due diligence or commitment fee required to get a facility in place the reality is that there are a couple of key drivers that affect pricing . Asset finance revolvers can be just as competitive as a Canadian chartered bank financing (and less onerous to get approved) but prices varies all over the board in Canada because of the fragmented and specialized nature of this type of financing.


Typically we see rates as low as 9% per annum and as high as 1.5% per month. That’s a big spread and ultimately it depends on the size of the facility, the mix of your current assets, as well as any perceived industry or business risk associated with your firm. But again, we remind the reader, what price would you pay for unlimited working capital?


Typically it takes 2-4 weeks to close such a facility. In Canada as we noted the market is fragmented and these lenders are very focused, specialized, and by nature experienced in what they do, which is value your assets and finance them!


Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor around asset finance as a business loan strategy if your working capital needs ' aren't working ' now!

How Factoring and Accounts Receivable Funding Can Fix your Working Captital problems

Tweet


The Fix Is In ! Cash Flow Problem Solutions

Information on factoring and accounts receivable funding solutions . This type of financing fixes cash flow challenges when properly understood and utilized

When your payments from key customers are significantly slowing down many firms in Canada turn to accounts receivable financing
, otherwise known as ‘factoring’ for a solution to their working capital challenges. As unbelievable as it seems in many cases it is not unusual to have clients tell us that receivables are getting paid in 90 days these days, sometimes longer in fact. Gone seem the days when the 30 day term on your invoice seems acknowledged and honored.



When those payments do slow down that tends to cripple your cash flow. Naturally the solution to the problem, or the obvious one to most business owners is to make an all our effort to improve collections but focusing on increased accounts receivable turnover.

As an aside we think it’s very important that Canadian business owners and financial mangers know their accounts receivable collection period – you don’t have to be an analyst to do that - the simple formula is as follows –



A/R Times 365 Divided by Sales

To illustrate, if your firms year end balance sheet has receivables of 400k and your annual sales are three million dollars your collection period is 48 days. (We wish our collection period was 48 days we can hear you saying!)

Naturally you can alter the above formula on a quarterly or monthly basis by adjusting the A/R and sales level for your required period.

You can address the additional cost in carrying receivables by attempting to raise your prices with your customer to cover those increased A/R cost. However, that gets you profit, and not liquidity. That is where factoring and receivable financing comes in.

Factoring is quickly becoming the first alternative solution for firms who wish to get 85-90% of their cash immediately after they invoice. This solution is available through a pure factoring solution, or, if your firm is a bit larger ( 250k + in receivables) as part of a working capital facility or asset based lending facility.

The challenge, we tell clients, is ensuring you have the type of facility and factoring partner that meets your overall goals in day to day business financing. It certainly also helps when you have a solid business with good clients, but the hard reality is that factoring is available to almost every size and type of business is Canada – what will differentiate your facility is simply the overall pricing, terms, and structure of your facility .

Is your firm a candidate for a factoring or accounts receivable financing facility. It probably is if your customer payments are slowing down, sales are growing, and you are unable to obtain traditional bank lines of credit from Chartered banks. Factoring is hugely popular in the U.S. - Over 140 Billion dollars (yes that’s billion!) was done in 2009. The Canadian landscape is much smaller and fragmented, but bottom line, its growing.

We can’t over emphasize to clients that your factoring facility grows with your business, and your factoring credit facility can be adjusted upward very easily in terms of your growth.

Is there any downside at all to a factoring and working capital facility? When we sit down with clients and work them through the process we focus on 3 main areas –

Choosing the right factoring and receivable financing partner

Ensuring you understand your true costs ( and how to offset them )

Picking the right facility from a day to day ease of doing business perspective



Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced advisor in this area to ensure that you are comfortable that such a business financing is the solution to your cash flow and working capital problems.

ABL Loans Are The Newest Trend in Canadian Asset Finance – Why Lenders Offer This Revolver For Asset Finance

Tweet





Why An ABL revolver asset finance facility Might Work For Your Firm

Information on ABL loans in Canada . What lenders offer this type of asset finance working capital facilities and why this type of operating line of credit, known as an ABL ‘ revolver ‘ can be the best thing that ever happened to your company

Let's get right to the point. Are you not surprised that many Canadian business owners and financial managers are unaware of the importance that ABL loans via abl lenders play in the asset finance arena in Canada. Are you not even surprised that this type of loan financing (actually it’s not a loan - more on that later), called a ' revolver ' competes with Canadian chartered banking facilities on a day to day basis, and wins!?

Part of the confusion , misconceptions and mis information around this type of financing actually comes from the name and terms around the ABL revolver, which can ,and do mean different things to different people .

In the pure sense and most relevant meaning of the term in Canadian asset finance the ABL facility provides a comprehensive asset financing or monetizing of current ( and in some cases ) fixed assets which allow a company to significantly enhance their working capital facilities . This type of facility competes head on with Canadian charted bank facilities.

The asset finance lenders in Canada have recently gained significant traction. We feel the primary reason is simply that their facilities offered enhanced borrowing with a focus on assets, unlike comparable chartered bank facilities which come with a stringent requirement of clean balance sheets, profitability, ability to maintain rations and covenants, and in many cases requiring outside collateral.

The 2008 and 2009 global recession enhanced the viability and visibility around ABL loans. Banks all over North America pulled back on commercial lines of credit and revolver finance - leaving thousands of companies with reduced, restricted, and in some cases no borrowing or operating facilities.

Most Canadian business owners and financial managers are simply not aware of who the ABL asset finance lender is. Typically they are smaller boutique firms, often subsidiaries of major U.S. corporations and banks .Their teams are small, highly focused on one thing ( monetizing assets for cash flow and working capital !) and offer facilities anywhere from 250k to hundreds of millions of dollars .

Many Canadian companies are also not aware that several of the Canadian charted banks have created asset finance lenders within their bank, and the ultimate irony is that when a loan is called by a chartered bank a competing division within the bank can often rescue the company. We'll let you mull that one over!

As we noted facilities are available for any amount over 250k but the pure play ABL revolver typically comes in at 3 to 5 Million dollars as an entry point. Rates are often competitive to Canadian banks, and small firms can pay a significant premium in financing charges , the offset being able to access working capital to facilitate growth and profits,

In summary, every business owner or financial manager concerned with operating finance should investigate and consider an ABL solution. Normal banking criteria does not apply and you have the ability to grow, restructure, and in some cases easily acquire a competitor using this finance strategy. You consider your firm unique and different, so investigate a new and unique type of business financing. Confused? Hopefully not. Interested? Speak to a Canadian business financing advisor on ABL loans today.

Critical Factors to Consider when Lease Financing in Canada

Tweet







Equipment Leasing Canada & Why Equipment Lease Rates aren’t Important!

Information on equipment leasing and lease rates in Canada. Factors other than interest rates are also critical when financing equipment and technology to run and grow your business

How can equipment lease rates in Canada not be the most important part of your equipment leasing in Canada acquisition strategy? That’s what clients want to know when we advise them the while an overall competitive leasing rate is important they must not miss the several other factors that play a huge part in making the proper lease financing decision.

Leasing in Canada has of course been around for many decades, we venture to say at least back to the 19 50’s, if not older than that. As a Canadian business owner and financial manager you recognize that it is clearly one of the most viable methods of acquiring assets for profit and sales growth – Profit through use is one of the buzzwords of equipment leasing in Canada.

The key thing you quickly realize about lease financing in Canada is that it encompasses all types of assets - from heavy industrial equipment, used equipment of all types, and of course technology such as computers and telecom equipment, etc . The reality is, and this is a surprise to many, that even ‘soft’ items can be financed such as computer software, or installation costs and warranties for shop equipment, etc.

So fine, we recognize that leasing is important, and we recognize it’s available to us as a financing option. So why isn’t rate the most important factor, isn’t it all about cost and payments?

We don’t think so, because the reality is that if you don’t properly address or thing about the other key factors that are involved in the whole ‘should I lease or should I buy?” decision then the last thing you should be worrying about is your rate. Let’s cover off one key point about rate before we move on to some of the other factors you must consider – it is as follows - Business is competitive in Canada – There are a number of lease financing sources.

Customers doesn’t believe us but we actually spend a lot of time talking to them and advising them that they get to pick their own rate! How is that possible they ask? It is simply based on the statement that your overall credit quality determines your rate within a very close band of competitive offerings of lease financing in Canada. So if you can properly demonstrate your own overall credit quality re ability to pay, historical cash flows, future cash flow ability, overall business prospects, etc then categorically will be in essence determine your own interest rate on the transaction. End of story on rate!

So, those critical other factors you need to consider - they are as follows – you should discuss with your accountant or a trusted, credible, and experience lease financing specialize what financial statement implications your lease will have – You want to determine if you choose a lease for ownership of the asset, or a lease for use of the asset, the latter being called technically in the industry an ‘operating lease ‘.

Are there any risk to leasing equipment .There might be. This is where you want to talk to your accountant about what the tax advantages or disadvantages are of the transaction. You mighty want to ask him to run what is known as a lease vs. buy analysis to determine, with your input, what is the best way to acquire the asset in questions.

Despite what leasing companies might tell you in their literature or on their website you might find that a true analysis of the transaction shows that leasing is not necessarily the lease expensive way to acquire assets. If you and the leasing company borrow at the same rate (it could happen – leasing companies borrow also to fund your deal) then clearly lease financing might not be the best option.

Everything You Wanted to Know About Purchase Order Factoring and Inventory Finance in Canada !

Financing Cost and Methodology of Inventory and Purchase Order finance

Information on purchase order financing and inventory finance & factoring finance solutions in Canada

You may or may not agree we are technically still in a ‘ business credit crunch ‘ but you probably will agree that your Canadian firms ability to factor purchase orders and arrange inventory finance is still a major challenge . Is there any solution, traditional or otherwise, to this ongoing Canadian business financing challenge? We happily tell clients there is, it’s just a case of having the right knowledge and ensuring you qualify for such financing. And you may find that due to the specialized nature and experts in this industry that are available, that it is not as hard as you thought!

Traditional sources of purchase order factoring and inventory finance are the Canadian chartered banks. To qualify for such financing the pre requisites are very clear - a decent balance sheet and income statement, growth prospects, profitability, potential external collateral, and the guarantees of owners and shareholders . Easier said than done, right?!

Purchase order and inventory financing can provide you with the working capital and cash flow to grow your company. It is simply a case of securing this type of financing, but at the same time recognizing that that costs and methodology around this type of financing makes sense for your company.

By assigning or selling your rights in the purchase order to a specialized inventory and p.o. financing firm your supplier is guaranteed payment of goods that you require to fulfill orders and contracts. When your supplier is paid goods or product is shipped to yourself, or potentially your customer, less a financing fee, which is typically in the 3% range. That fee varies, but is a good general starting point for discussion and negotiation.

The concept of the financing fee around purchase order and inventory financing is critical as it relates to your gross margin, or overall profitability on your transactions. If you are in a low margin, slow turnover business the financing fee around a p.o and inventory financing scenario can eat away significantly at your overall profitability. Quite frankly the inventory and p.o. financing firm might deem your overall ability to complete the transaction as not making sense for all parties – there is no reason to just turn over sales and revenue if you do not have a solid profit outcome.

We all know the saying ‘timing is everything ‘, and how about another well worn but quite solid cliché – ‘the sale is not completed until your invoice is paid ‘. Those two well worn saying factor significantly into inventory and purchase order finance. The inventory finance firm expects to be paid when the product is delivered and your invoice is generated. In normal circumstances, if your firm is traditionally financed, you would borrow against your receivables and pay the inventory finance firm, which in some cases could be your bank. (If you had access to traditional finance). If your firm can’t repay the inventory and finance firm then it is wise, and in fact common, to arrange for factoring of your invoice. This is simply the sale and discounting of your invoice – with those funds you pay your supplier, your firm is now paid, and you have realized the actual cash profit on your sale. (Assuming you had those good profit margins we spoke of!)

By now you have probably figured out that a number of key players play a role in the inventory financing and purchase order financing cycle. Those key players are your firm, your customer, your supplier, and the inventory finance and P.O. finance firm. All are dependent on each other to perform properly in purchase order factoring , and in a timely fashion. Business owners and financial managers by now have probably realized the importance of validating your own customer, the purchaser or your product, as being credit worthy and agreed to your payment terms. If those don’t happen you clearly are at risk.

Despite the costs associated with inventory and purchase order financing in Canada there are a number of advantages – your company can grow significantly based upon access to large amounts of capital you might otherwise have not been able to raise or borrow .

And remember, inventory and purchase order finance is not debt on your balance sheet, you are simply monetizing inventory and p.o.’s to raise liquid capital.

So where do you obtain this type of financing. It’s a specialized form of business finance and we suggest to clients that they obtain the services of a successful, credible, and experienced business financing advisor in this area. That allows you to capitalize on opportunities for growth. That person can also assist and help you wade through the finance maze of basic issues, which might include the size of the facility you need, what info you need to provide to complete the financing, how long does it take to arrange the facility, as well as the costs associated with your transaction on a one of or ongoing basis.

When you are comfortable that his type of financing makes sense you should be able to complete your transaction within a number of weeks , assuming the proper level of transparency between you, your customer and your inventory finance and purchase order lender .
