What then are the steps required to ensure survival in the callable loan scenario? We've got some solutions, and refinancing commercial loans might not be as difficult as you think .

Not all business owners or their financial mgrs will always understand whey a band has called their loan - why would they forsake interest income and put your company in a very difficult position. In many cases your firm might have even not missed a payment !

However, when you are in the ' special loans' category at the bank there is only one immediate goal - Where can the funds come from to settle the banks outstanding loan/ loans? Ensuring business survival becomes job 1!

That challenge unfortunately comes with short time frames and the pressures on the business can be intense as the company future is in doubt.

On it's part the bank has rules around the timelines on called loans and their ability to ensure their own capital and liquidity - So they are always looking at their commercial loans to determine in their minds what might be signs of financial distress. In other words they are monitoring what might be potential ' bad debts'. By ' calling loans ' banks are in effect increasing their liquidity.

Initial steps in refinancing your business will revolve around ensuring banks are behaving properly, perhaps negotiating new deadlines , or negotiating settlement proposals. These actions are often best served when you are working with a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor with a financing  track record of success.

In many cases ratios and covenants can be renegotiated, and some firms may on their own be able to bring in new capital. Don't forget that callable loans are a costly process for the bank also, so a mutual solution is often very desirable. Business owners are well cautioned to ensure they understand the ' call provision' in their loan documents . Bank doc's can always be a bit overwhelming.

Here's What Really Matter In Business Funding Sources

Tweet

Non Bank Lenders That Will Help You Win

Business funding sources in Canada can come from both traditional lenders, aka ' the bank ' as well as non bank lenders who often are more equipped and prepared to handle shorter term needs in a more timely manner.

Most business owners or their financial managers know that traditional banking organizations in Canada are often unable to meet your business loan and cash flow needs when you are going through a period of financial challenges. So in a time when you are in perhaps a growth mode, or are experience working capital shortages the traditional bank or business credit union will be unable to meet your needs.

The harsh reality ? Simply that banks focus on cash flow and collateral that is more consistent historically and in the present. So high growth and larger build ups in inventory and receivables often creates uncertainty in the minds of Canadian bank lenders.

Even more pronounced is their lack of desire to fund a company when it is restructuring or experience temporary negative cash flow. And don't even talk about taking on very large new orders or contracts in this period of time! Unfortunately sometimes a bank will focus on reducing your access to funding, let alone increasing it ,

Is there a solution then? Thankfully there is , in that alternative finance companies specialize in various forms of asset and cash flow financing that will provide a bridge to more normalized financing structures. In some cases it's a ' bridge loan ' to get your company to it's next stage of growth and profitability or resumption of profit generation. These type of solutions allow you to remove the ' turbulence' that engulfs mgmt in times of cash flow challenges.

How to End Cash Flow Needs

So what do we need to consider when it comes to borrowing for business - It's often simply a case of identifying the best source of capital and not over emphasizing the cost of funding, which in almost all cases is higher in alternative finance. Simply ensure that you are not taking on too much debt on the balance sheet - and in many cases alternative finance sources monetize assets and don't generate debt.

Business owners must realize that the reward of taking on more business and generating more profits and funding daily operations will many times outweigh an additional or temporary cost of capital.

Finally, understand that in the majority of situations non bank lenders who specialize in small business funding fully realize these solutions are temporary in nature - So again we're talking about that bridge. At 7 Park Avenue Financial we focus on a plan that will allow an exit to more traditional financing solutions.

So why alternative finance solutions? Simply these firms look at assets and your current cash flow needs - solutions are tailored to your current situation. Start up loans are also available via alternate funding sources.

 

Bottom line? Focus on your current cash needs and repayment, not rates. Analyze the merits of taking on new business or larger contracts.

Seek out a trusted and experienced Canadian business financing advisor with a track record of success to assist with your company's financing needs.

Modern Factoring & Accounts Receivable FInancing In Canada

Tweet

The 7 Park Avenue Financial Way to Solve Lack Of Business Financing

Receivables factoring . Here is your daily spoiler alert - Factoring accounts receivable has entered in to the modern day financing arena , big time !

For those firms that either can't or don't want to access traditional bank financing the ability to cash flow your receivables on an ongoing basis is a solid way to generate immediate cash flow . Not do overdo our cliche's but in case you haven't heard - Cash is King .

But is this method practical for your firm when in fact there are other options our there in today's large array of business finance mechanisms. In fact there are a number of reasons why factoring accounts receivable is a preferred solution for many Canadian firms.

In today's world of globalization and highly competitive business environments business owners and their financial managers don't want to be constantly struggling for cash flow solutions. While receivables factoring is more expensive than traditional bank based line of credit facilities the vast majority of business owners are willing to give up 1-2 per cent of their gross margins as opposed to losing large or new clients or slowing down sales growth on purpose in order to conserve working capital.

We've referenced ' modern day ' receivable financing - that's because a perception remains that under ' old school ' a/r finance there was a perception that your clients would potentially lose faith in your company as a supplier. That's no longer an obstacle when utilizing such solutions as Confidential Receivable Financing .

Clients of 7 Park Avenue Financial will often ask  us why thousands of firms are now utilizing this method of financing . That requires a quick history lesson, in that after the 2008 recession business lending took a dramatic turn, with many firms exiting the marketplace or just disappearing themselves. Enter factoring of trade receivables as an option - given that same option has been utilized in various forms for hundreds of years.

Benefits of commercial a/r financing strategies should be obvious to all parties :

1. Businesses generate immediate cash

2. Your balance sheet remains intact - factoring is not a debt facility - you're simply cash flowing current assets .

By the way , your borrowing facility can be further enhanced by combining inventory, receivables and equipment into one asset based business line of credit . In our experience these facilities almost 99% of the time provide more liquidity than you can ever achieve from a bank, without all that emphasis on personal guarantees, covenants, restricted borrowing, etc!

Although it's fair to say that a/r financing seems to lend itself to smaller firms in the SME COMMERCIAL FINANCE space business owners might be surprised to know that large corporations also utilize this method of financing . Naturally the big boys prefer some fancier names, such as ' securitization ' etc.

If you are looking for invoice financing solutions seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor with a track record of success .

What Different Types Of Commercial Loans Does Your Business Need ?

Tweet

Quick Guide to Types Of Business Loans

Different types of business loans can, in some cases, be challenging for business owners to achieve . Certain types of funding are often much better suited to your company's financing needs.

The good news is that a number of business finance solutions are more accessible than ever . Naturally the ' go to ' in the minds of many owners and their financial mgrs is ' the bank '. Here capital is virtually unlimited and the rates are typically the lowest when it comes to cost of funds .

Bank financing comes with a challenge though - the need to provide full financial disclosure around financial statements, owner personal credit history and net worth, collateral, personal guarantees, and in many cases the requirements to produce a business plan or cash flow forecast . Don't forget to take into consideration the ' timing ' factor, in that the process time might often be weeks stretching into a month.. or more.


Types of business loans offered by banks :


Business credit lines
Term Loans
Equipment Loans

We can safely say that Canadian banks offer the most flexibility and access to capital when a firm qualifies . Factors such as years in business, profits, acceptable balance sheet ratios , etc are key to bank loan approval.



Early stage businesses often utilize personal financial resources to access cash - that includes business credit cards , loans from friends and family, etc. At 7 Park Avenue Financial we encourage clients to separate personal and business financing , as those types of resources are not often the best choice to finance a company, as business failures can significantly damage personal credit .


Alternative Lending

For those firms that can't access all or even some of the funding they need alternative financing comes to the rescue . Alternative lenders provide the same types of loans available from banks - and are often quicker to approve loans . The cost of this financing is higher , but it provides access to capital.

Typical solutions available from alternative financiers include -

Non bank business credit lines
Inventory financing
A/R financing ( aka ' factoring ' )
Short term working capital loans
Tax Credit Financing ( SR&ED loans )

Both banks and alternative finance companies provide loans for long term business growth - These needs might include :

Commercial mortgages for owner occupied facilities
Mergers and Acquisitions
Franchise Financing
Leasehold Improvements - ( leaseholds can be easily finance via the Government guaranteed business loan )

These types of loans are typically longer in duration - ranging 2-5 years


If you are focusing on ensuring you understand and have access to the right type of commercial loans for your company seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor with a track record of success.

Know How To Choose The Right Debtor Financing Company ? Alternative Finance Options

Tweet

The Modern Rules Of Alternative Finance Options

Debtor financing, aka ' receivable finance ' is one of the most popular methods of financing a business that is growing . Success in accounts receivable financing will relate directly to your firms ability to pay normal expenses and invest in growth while not at the expense of slow paying clients . By the way, the most common term used today around debtor financing tends to be ' factoring '.

It's simply a flexible form of a ' business line of credit ' , via alternative finance options . And by the way it's utilized in pretty well every industry, by both start up earlier stage firms as well as the largest and most successful corporations in Canada.

Business owners and financial managers should simply view this tool as ' cash flow financing '. Where confusion sets in is the terminology the industry uses and how it prices this form of finance . Knowing how debtor finance works will allow you to exploit it's various features.

When setting up such a facility it's all about being able to identify the quality and size of your sales revenues as they are invoiced to your client base. In it's simplest form your facility will typically have 90% of your sales finance as soon as you generate invoices that have been ' earned ' Earned ? By that we mean simply that you have delivered a service or product under payment terms agreed to by your client base.

As an aside we also mention that many firms feel they can grow faster if they can offer extended dating terms to new or larger or strategic clients.


Clients of 7 Park Avenue Financial will typically ask when they get the balance of the invoice amount, ie that remaining 10% balance. The answer ? Once your client pays you get the remaining 10%, less finance and carrying charges. Safe to say that clients with good paying customers can see the positive advantage of cash flow turnover.

Many clients , in fact most , would prefer to be in total control of the whole debtor finance timeline. While some firms are happy to have a lender do their collections the majority of firms want to bill, and collect their own receivables.

So rather than disclose debtor financing arrangements to your customers you are in a position to ensure that your clients aren't aware of how you finance your business. This is called Confidential Receivable Financing .


Summary of the advantages of Debtor Financing:


1. Keeps a Business Focused On Better Receivable Management

2.Allows companies to access business financing not available from traditional bank type arrangements

3. Increased cash flow

Make Government Business Loans Work For You

What is the best small business loan for Canadian business owners in the ' SME COMMERCIAL FINANCE ' sector in Canada. When it comes to lack of funding for start up or earlier stage companies already achieving revenues there is no doubt the government small business loan is a very viable solution .

Lack of funding in the earlier stages of a company's growth will always hurt long term business goals for sales and profits. Financing and execution of your business plans are of course as integral to the success of your company.

While many entrepreneurs focus on ' the bank ' for funding they typically cannot get all ( or even some ) of the business capital they need. Government in Canada recognized that a long time via Industry Canada the Canadian Small Business Financing Loan program. Some have written the program is the ' oxygen' for financing a business with government help.



There are some major key benefits to what we describe as the ' best small business loan ' in Canada. And by the way, small means under a million dollars , which in our books isn't that ' small '!

KEY FACTORS IN THE GOVERNMENT GUARANTEED BUSINESS LOAN

For a starter it is the government guaranteeing the majority of your business loan . That clearly eliminates a lot fo the collateral and reliance on personal financial information required by most ' traditional' lending institutions.

Down payments are always an issue for owners and the initial equity, or ' down payment ' you need to get the loan is modest indeed - typically in the 10-20% range.

Timing is everything in business, and if you're working with a proper Canadian Business Financing Advisor closing time on funding can be very quick in loan funding.

What does the Government small business loan finance ? That's a frequent question from clients here at 7 Park Avenue Financial . The answer:

Equipment

Leaseholds

Software

Real estate

Loans under the program are structured as term loans between 2-5 years from an amortization / length of loan perspective . Prepayment is not penalized !!


Steps To Be Successful With A Government Guaranteed Business Loan

A recent articles in Canada's major newspaper, the Globe & Mail, highlighted great ways to achieve success in government financing . That included ensuring what your business financing needs are, being pro-active in putting together a plan and request, and ensuring owners have reasonable credit history .

Make Invoice Factoring Loans Work - An Asset Based Lending Primer

Tweet

Looking For A Business Credit Line Solution?

Invoice factoring loans are one area of business finance that has slowed the growth of traditional financing via banks in Canada. It's no secret that asset based lending is on the rise , and while not that long ago,for that we can vouch, that alternative financing was pretty well unheard of . Industry stats both in the U.S. as well as Canada indicate more and more companies are turning to asset based lending solutions.

So why have asset based financing solutions become one of the most popular methods of financing your company's working capital and cash flow needs.

Asset based finance solutions such as factoring work for a very simply reason - they monetize one of the most important assets in your business , letting accounts receivable act as security .

New clients here at 7 Park Avenue Financial always want to know how these ' loans' work . First of all, it's not a loan per se. It's simple a method of selling and cash flowing your receivables as your generate revenues. Cash advanced on this type of financing is typically in the 80-90 % range and it's at the business owners option to cash flow some or all of your a/r.

FACTORING LOAN RATES

Confusion exists if only for the terminology commercial lenders and customer use around describing the cost of this financing . That's because this method of finance is costed as a ' fee ' , not an interest rate. The fee's typically are between 1-2 % , so if your firm has good margins and a reasonable turnover in receivables you are an excellent candidate for invoice factoring loans.

Other factors that influence your over-all cost include the size of your facility, the general credit worthiness of your customer base . The amount of time you use the funds for is probably ultimately the largest cost aspect of the financing . While bank business credit lines are the lowest cost in Canada it's not secret that thousands of businesses simply can't access all or part of the business financing they require.

At 7 Park Avenue Financial we strong recommend what we term Confidential Receivable Financing facilities. They allow you to bill and collect your own accounts, generating the cash flow you need to run and grow your business.

A/R financing collateralizes your receivables, allowing you to finance the other parts of your business, such as inventory, equipment, real estate, etc.

For smaller to medium sized firms that have exhausted forms of financing such as business credit cards, friends and family loans, collapsing personal investments asset based lending via a business factoring loan is a logical step to financing operations and growth.

Seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor with a financing track record of success.
