The Complete Guide to SR&ED Financing

 

 

INTRODUCTION

As a business owner seeking SR&ED tax incentives in Canada, navigating the sred  financing process can be overwhelming. Let the 7 Park Avenue Financial team show you how easy the process is from start to finish - Leverage our expertise to help fund your r&d activities confidently, and we'll demonstrate the benefits of sr&ed financing.

Companies can also take advantage of  SRED Advance Funding,  an alternative financing option in Canada that can greatly benefit businesses undertaking innovative projects in research and development,

 Your ability to finance your SRED claim (aka ‘SR&ED claim') signifies the cash flowing of your non-repayable refundable investment tax credit. At 7 Park Avenue Financial, we think that anytime you can hasten cash from the government and turn that into immediate cash flow and working capital, that is a good thing.

 

UNDERSTANDING SR&ED FINANCING

 

Financing your SR&ED claim is crucial for accessing Canadian government tax incentives and the cash flow you need to run your business.  The SR&ED program provides substantial cash incentives for companies involved in scientific research and experimental development. These incentives for sr ed expenditures can significantly mitigate the costs of your research activities.

 

SRED credits are of course the funds you received from the Canada Revenue Agency based on the filing of your Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) claim.

 

CANADA'S TWO GREAT GOVERNMENT FINANCE PROGRAMS

 

These funds have never been more generous, and many Canadian business owners and financial managers are unaware that the program even exists, let alone their ability to partake in the billions of dollars of non-repayable grants issued by this department. Essentially it is the most significant support for research in Canada.  Many clients always ask us if there are government grants and loans. We think that the two best programs in Canada to finance your firm are the federal BIL/CSBF loan and of course, the SRED program.

 

 

WHAT IS SR&ED ADVANCE FUNDING? 

 

 

SR&ED Advance Funding allows a company not to have to wait until the end of the fiscal year or until the sr red claim is filed. The funding process is straightforward and typically takes only a couple weeks - and revolves around a simple application on the company background, information, etc and key documents relating to accrued sr ed expenses to date.

 

Following some short due diligence, the bridge loan is funded, and the company can choose to schedule when they receive their funding for work accrued to date under the pending sr&ed claim - The sr&e bridge loan funding has no monthly payments ( the interest accrues ). The loan is repaid when CRA  approves and sends the refund.

 

Timing is everything, and you can finance that claim if you want to monetize those funds and get them working inside your firm.  For many early-stage and start-up firms, the ability to finance their SRED claim is often the firm's largest receivable that year. And the beauty of the program is of course that as long as your firm is a private Canadian-controlled private corporation, businesses can participate in the program.

 

DEMYSTIFYING SRED FINANCING  & THE ROLE OF THE SR&ED CONSULTANT

 

As companies and consumers, we generally use an ‘expert' to prepare our taxes and file them. It is no different with SRED, and we recommend using an SR&ED consultant to ensure your claim is prepared correctly.

 

Naturally, using their own expertise or the government's self-assessment tool, you want to be sure you are eligible for the grant, given that it takes time to prepare and file the claim.

 

Naturally, after filing a professionally prepared claim, you are, of course, entitled to wait for your cheque – that timeframe can be anywhere from a couple of months to potentially close to a year depending on some key factors such as your first time filing, and the due diligence that SRED employees do on the technical and financial aspects of your claim.

 

SRED FINANCING - THE HIDDEN GEM IN CANADIAN BUSINESS FINANCING

 

 

So you are eligible for SR&ED.  You have filed a claim. You have been made aware you can finance the claim, but you are not sure how. The banks in Canada don’t finance these sorts of claims – that’s a general statement, but 99% of the time we are pretty sure we are correct in making that comment.

 

Contact  7 Park Avenue Financial, a business financing advisor specializing in SRED finance.  At that point, it’s a relatively simple process, and we encourage clients to view it as they would any business financing, from a lease to a loan arrangement. There is standard application information, and the whole process, up to and including funding, can be completed in weeks.

 

SR&ED CLAIM SIZE - DOES SIZE MATTER?

 

As a general rule, it makes sense to finance claims over 250k in size, but quite frankly, smaller claims can also be funded. There is no challenge to the amount of financing regarding the size of an SRED filing – Claims more than a million dollars can be easily financed.

The critical advantage of financing a claim is that you are not undertaking any debt; you are just discounting a receivable that you have – that receivable being the SRED claim itself.

 

The SR&ED filing itself is the actual collateral for the financing – and if you want more good news, then you should be aware you don’t make payments on SRED claim finance. The funds advanced are netted out from your final cheque from the government. Usually, SRED claims are financed at 75% of their filed value - that leaves a buffer in case part of the claim is downsized when approved.

 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SRED FINANCING

 

Financing your SR&ED claim offers several advantages for your business. Companies can access cash flow from one of the best Canadian government tax incentives, which helps reduce research and development costs and facilitates ongoing innovation in product and service research and development. SR ED funding improves cash flow by providing upfront funds, eliminating the need to deplete existing reserves of cash or credit lines, and helping cover research expenses. By leveraging SR&ED claim financing, companies can sustain business growth and financial stability.

 

Companies fast-tracking r&d investments and cash-flowing claims can maintain a competitive edge with the financial stress of funding limitations.

 

SR&ED financing is non-dilutive, businesses do not need to dilute shareholder ownership, and experts know that short-term debt financing is cheaper than equity financing!

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

SR&ED (Scientific Research and Experimental Development) is a tax incentive program by the Canadian government for R&D.

SR&ED financing provides funding for companies engaged in SR&ED activities

SRED Loans improve a business's cash flows  by accessing SR&ED credits in advance for accrued sred research to date - or companies can file an  entire claim at year-end

Business owners should ensure they  Understand loan terms, including interest rates and fees - sr&ed financing is low cost and competitive compared to other forms of debt and equity financing.

Let the 7 Park Avenue Financial team make funding your sr&ed claim fast and easy. SRED Finance is an alternative source of funding that provides predictable cash flow management and a source of funding that helps growth-oriented companies.

FAQ: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS / PEOPLE ALSO ASK / MORE INFORMATION 

  

 

What do you need to apply for sr&ed loan financing  

For a company to apply for SR&ED tax credit debt facility, the requirements are simple under financing for the sr ed claim process:

•  The business must be a Canada based company, incorporated in Canada
•  Businesses must have reasonable levels of R&D expenditure in areas of scientific or technological advancement
• Qualified expenditure for SR&ED investment tax credits in sr ed projects must demonstrate sr&ed eligibility

 

What is The  Eligibility Criteria for SR&ED Financing

To be eligible for SR&ED financing, your business must engage in scientific research and experimental development activities in areas of scientific or technological uncertainty in their business that qualify for the tax incentives offered by the Canadian government. Research and development activities must meet specific criteria, including being performed in Canada and involving a systematic investigation or search and being able to provide technical drawings, project records, payroll records, purchase invoices etc. Additionally, your activities must be conducted to achieve technological advancement, and you must maintain proper documents to support your claim.

 

  

What are Other types of Financing Options for funding  SR&ED Claims  

There are several financing options available for SR&ED claims, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The most common financing options include traditional loans, lines of credit, and government grants. Traditional loans provide you with a lump sum of money you repay with interest over time. Lines of credit allow you to access funds as needed, but you only pay interest on the amount you use. Government grants provide you with non-repayable funds to support your research and development activities.

 

 What are some tips for a Successful SR&ED Claim Financing Application?

When applying for SR ED  refund claim financing, it is essential to be prepared and organized. Ensure you have all the necessary documentation to support your claim, including financial statements, project descriptions, and supporting documents. Additionally, be prepared to demonstrate how your research and development activities meet the eligibility criteria for the tax incentives offered by the Canadian government for Canadian controlled private corporations in areas of tech, software development, and many other industries. Finally, be prepared to answer questions about your business and your research and development activities.

 

What is the SR&ED Investment Tax Credit (ITC) Program in Canada

SR ED tax credits are a valuable yet slow-to-materialize source of cash for many Canadian companies. For a company to access the payments, it must expend money on R&D within the current financial year and patiently navigate through fiscal year-end, accounts preparation, tax credit claim filing, and finally, the processing and payout of the refund by the CRA. This process can extend from 4-10 weeks. But with an SR&ED tax credit loan, you can access funds for your sr ed tax credit claim within the year the R&D spending happens, much before the CRA refund date.

Boost Your Business Liquidity with Asset-Based Lines of Credit

 

Your best financing solution in Canada just might be an asset based line of credit facility. These facilities are gradually becoming one of the newer and more popular methods of business financing in Canada.

 

 

INTRODUCTION 

 

Business owners recognize that the right financing contributes to growth and success. Traditional financing comes with challenges and can be complicated and time-consuming. Asset-based financing  ' ABL ' continues to grow in popularity as a solution for financing businesses. Leveraging business assets helps a  business maximize the potential of the business and any business with sales and assets can benefit from cyclical seasonal cash flow gaps in the company.

 

 

WHAT IS AN ASSET BASED LINE OF CREDIT? 

 

 

The asset-based credit line is a type of financing that allows a company to borrow under a revolving credit facility using the sales and business assets as collateral. While traditional financing institutions such as banks focus on companies with strong credit histories ABL financing uses assets as the collateral value of the funding. Financing limits are determined by the actual value of business assets as determined by the asset-based lender.

 

 

WHAT TYPES OF ASSETS ARE USED AS COLLATERAL IN ASSET BASED CREDIT LINES 

 

 

The types of assets that  are the collateral for asset based business credit lines are:

Accounts receivable

Inventory

Fixed assets / Equipment / Rolling Stock

Real estate ( if applicable )

 

WHAT ARE THE DYNAMICS OF BORROWING LIMITS IN THE REVOLVING  ABL FACILITY

 

 

Borrowing limits under asset-based financing credit lines are unique in that they align with the level of your sale and asses - As sales and assets increase the credit line increases also. Borrower should recognize downward levels of sales and assets limited the facility values.

 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE ASSET BASED CREDIT LINE

 

 

The benefits of asset-based credit lines include -

Flexibility -  The business credit lines can be used for day-to-day working capital needs, and purchases of inventory and materials,  and come with the ability to take advantage of short-term opportunities that arise

The approval process for the facility is easier than bank-type financing comes with a number of traditional loan requirements and financial covenants that limit financing

Competitive interest rates - Whiles rates are generally ( but not always ) higher than bank rates pricing is still competitive based on overall credit quality and transaction size

ABL funding helps companies who want more predictable cash flow to manage day-to-day and plan for long-term growth

 

The facility is generally totally focused on what we generally refer to as working capital, or more specifically, short-term working capital. The largest part of the asset-based financing facility tends to be your firm's accounts receivable, but quite frankly in our experience, it can be inventory also, as well as a component of equipment even purchase orders.

 

Turning Assets into Opportunities: The Role of Asset-Based Lines of Credit in Business Growth

 

 

Most business owners are surprised when we tell them they are in a position to quite accurately calculate their own amount of total credit facility. That is because there are some very accepted rules as to how much is advanced and on what.

 

By now the business owner or financial manager of a Canadian business understands that this type of financing is an alternative to a Chartered bank line of credit. The facility ‘in general' works in the same way, but there are some major differences in setting up the facility and in the effects, or rather lack of effects it has on your business.

 

Let’s clarify. If your business has a Chartered bank line of credit there are three things that facility has that don’t apply to an asset based lending facility. They are as follows:

 

• A  facility cap or maximum
• Loan covenants and ratios
• Additional eligible collateral often required, with a heavy emphasis on owner guarantees

 

Asset-based credit facilities, also called ‘ABLs' are generally able to increase to the same extent that your firm can increase its receivables and inventory. The bottom line is that you are not constrained to grow!

 

There are little or no covenants or ratio requirements in an asset-based lending facility, it’s totally based on the number of assets you have

 

In general, the assets financed are the only assets secured

 

One of the few similarities of an asset-based credit agreement is that similar to a bank facility, receivables under 90 days are the only receivables that are financed.

 

So let’s just focus on the receivables portion of our asset-based line of credit for a moment. A quick example would be:

 

Your firm has 500,000.00 in accounts receivable - Under your facility, you can borrow up to 80 or 90% of that amount at any given time. Naturally, the line fluctuates daily, (similar to a bank facility) because you are receiving payments every day and you are invoicing every day.

 

We can say as an across-the-board statement that asset-based lines of credit are less restrictive than bank lines, they also cost more.

 

Customers we meet with regularly though are in a position where they frankly don’t qualify for traditional bank financing – this could be for a variety of reasons. (A net loss in the current year, a high debt/equity ratio, can’t meet bank interest coverage requirements, etc.)  

 

THE COST OF ASSET BASED FINANCING

 

So yes, your firm has a higher cost of borrowing – asset-based credit facilities in Canada have a wide spectrum of pricing, from 8-9% per annum, or in some cases 1-1.5% % per month.

 

But if your firm needs financing for growth or even survival, and you have no access to traditional bank or term credit, asset-based financing via asset based lendiers in many cases will save your company, give you almost unlimited access to working capital based on your sales, and at the same time position you for the next level of growth or a return to traditional financing.

 

Many customers we have dealt with actually decide not to return to traditional bank financing once they realize and calculate the benefits of an asset-based line of credit.

 

  

ALTERNATIVES TO ASSET-BASED LENDING 

 

While asset-based lending can be a great financing option for businesses, there are also alternatives to consider. These include:

 

Traditional loans for companies that qualify for traditional bank and commercial financing

Equity financing alternatives

Invoice Financing / Factoring / Invoice Discounting/ Confidential Receivable Financing

 

When contrasted with other types of business financing like bank loans or accounts receivable financing, the asset based credit facility and ABL lending solutions stand out for their flexibility. While traditional loans rely heavily on credit history, and demonstrable cash flow, profit, balance sheet ratios, etc, asset-based lending emphasizes the value of a company's assets. However, a careful analysis of business needs, market conditions, and asset value is essential to decide on the best financing option.

 

  

CONCLUSION  

 

Asset-based lending provides flexible financing to maximize the potential of the business - the ability to leverage  a borrowing base on sales and assets allows a company to obtain working capital for a variety of purposes and business needs, The combination of meeting operational demands and avoiding financial turbulence  while securing needed capital is a cornerstone of ABL,

In summary, investigate asset-based lines of credit - Call 7 Park Avenue Financial,  a trusted, credible and  experienced advisor in this area of Canadian financing. Weigh the benefits and advantages and you may find this is the business financing solution for credit availability you have never heard of but works for you!

 

  

FAQ: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS / PEOPLE ALSO ASK / MORE INFORMATION  

 

How does asset based lending work?  

Asset-based lending works by using your company's assets as collateral for a revolving line of credit. The lender evaluates the assets to determine their value and extends a credit line based on that value. The credit line can be used for working capital, inventory purchases, or other business needs.

The lender will monitor the value of the assets used as collateral and adjust the credit line accordingly. For example, if the value of your inventory decreases, the lender may decrease your credit line to reflect the lower value of the collateral.

The interest rate on an asset-based line of credit is typically lower than other types of financing such as credit cards or merchant cash advances. However, the interest rate will vary depending on the lender and the value of the assets used as collateral and traditional bank loans will usually offer lower interest rates for companies that qualify.

 

  

 

How Do Businesses Qualify for an asset based line of credit  

To qualify for an asset-based line of credit, your company must have physical assets & financial assets that can be used as collateral. The assets can include inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, and real estate.

The lender will evaluate the assets to determine their value and the credit line that can be extended. Business lenders will also consider your company's financial history and creditworthiness before extending a line of credit.

 

What are common mistakes to avoid with asset-based lending 

While asset-based lending can provide many benefits for businesses, there are also some common mistakes to avoid. These include:

Overreliance on ABL: Businesses should not rely solely on ABL for financing. It is important to have a diversified financing portfolio that includes other types of financing, such as equity financing and traditional loans.

Inaccurate asset valuation:  It is important to accurately value your assets before using them as collateral for ABL. Inaccurate valuations can lead to lower credit lines and higher interest rates. In some cases an inventory appraisal or other asset appraisal may be required

 Poor cash flow management: ABL provides businesses with a predictable cash flow, but it is still important to manage cash flow effectively. Businesses should have a plan in place to manage their finances and ensure they have enough cash on hand to cover expenses. 

 

What are the drawbacks of an asset-based line of credit

The potential drawbacks may include rigorous monitoring by lenders, possible limitations on the use of funds, and the risk of losing assets if the business is unable to repay the loan

 

What types of businesses are ideal for an asset-based line of credit?

Businesses with significant financial and physical assets, such as manufacturers, wholesalers, or retail companies, are ideal candidates for an asset-based line of credit. These businesses often have substantial inventory, accounts receivable, or machinery, and often need an immediate cash influx to meet operational needs or seasonal demands of the company's cash flow and borrowing capacity. Companies that cannot meet the financial covenant/covenants required by banks are ideal for ABL lending.

 

How does an asset-based line of credit compare with other financing options?

While traditional loans rely heavily on credit history, asset-based loans emphasize the value of a company's assets in asset rich businesses.  However, a careful analysis of business needs, market conditions, and asset value is essential to decide on the best financing option when understanding if asset based lending will work for a business.

The Power of Capital: Unveiling Canada's Top Business Financing Options

 

Business Finance Sources must seem like a 'funhouse mirror' for Canadian business owners and financial managers when considering funding the business.

 

They want to know the potential sources of working capital financing & other funding to profit from sales and high growth opportunities while finance a business properly. How to get funding for your business is the eternal conundrum - let's dig in!

 

INTRODUCTION

 

For a long time, traditional financing sources like bank loans and credit lines were the only options for businesses looking to secure funding. But many business owners have challenges in accessing traditional capital, including strict eligibility criteria, and  lengthy application processes.

 

Additionally, traditional financing sources may not always be accessible to startups. Alternative financing sources can provide businesses with more flexible and accessible funding options. Alternative finance sources can provide businesses with the financial support they need to grow and succeed.

 

At some point every business needs external funding  to achieve sales and profit  growth and overcome challenges. Securing financing can be a daunting task for many SMEs in Canada.

 

 

THE CHALLENGES IN  FINANCING A BUSINESS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS IN CANADA

 

 

The challenge? Knowing what financing sources/funding sources are available and what's appropriate for their company!  Whether small businesses are at an early stage or more mature and established, the loans and capital you need will vary. They might come from a traditional or alternative finance environment. Let's dig in.

 

 

OPERATING CAPITAL AND ACCESS TO LINES OF CREDIT  

 

Operating capital is viewed as one of the most critical aspects of business needs and ongoing financial liquidity; put, the ability to meet your short-term and long-term obligations. More often than not, the solution is a traditional bank loan (or alternative finance!) business credit line. The more access you have to this type of funding source helps guarantee your chances of overall financial success. It's a simple bottom line - accessing capital and cash flow to expand and grow.

 

 

UNDERSTANDING WORKING CAPITAL  

 

The textbooks, of course, do a great job of defining working capital. However, the real-world use and understanding of that term differ somewhat!

The reality is that the amount of working capital a company needs depends on your industry and your own business model - that is all part of the ' operating cycle ' of your business - best described as how 1 dollar flows through your company as you make a sale and ultimately collect funds. A small business's challenge is to focus on positive working capital, given the difficulty in raising new funding. Companies in service-oriented businesses typically require less capital as they are less asset-intensive.

 

 

ASSET TURNOVER IS CRITICAL

 

 

Your working capital position will reflect how you run your business as it relates to asset turnover in key current assets such as accounts receivable and inventory, as well as, of course, accounts payable management. In some cases, your management goals will affect how you address these - an example being extending payment terms to clients, etc. That would typically help increase sales but require a higher investment in receivables.

 

WHAT ARE THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF WORKING CAPITAL

 

Finance books tell us working capital is calculated by subtracting current liabilities from your current assets. The major current assets are receivables and inventory. When we meet with clients to discuss their working capital needs, we focus on two issues within those working capital components that the finance textbooks don't really touch on!

 

They are:

 

- Turnover of working capital

- Margining of working capital

 

So the key point for business owners is not really what the textbook says. It is that you need to be able to understand how to convert these assets into cash! Of course, we agree that positive working capital (what you have) is better than negative working capital (what you owe)!

 

Sitting down and working through changes in their working capital is one of the most valuable tools in understanding your current and future cash flow needs.

 

A fine balancing act is created, one in which you are liquidating your receivables and inventory on an ongoing basis, but at the same time managing to keep your short term obligations to suppliers current. Vendor financing/trade credit should always be explored if possible to reduce business and financing risk and should never be underestimated. They are equally as important as external sources of funds.

 

Another hard reality of business financing is that working capital varies by company and in general by industry. The amount of turnover in inventory and Accounts Receivable varies considerably in every business. Managed well internal sources of finance to reduce your funding needs.

 

We have discussed the definition and importance of working capital. So what are the sources of those funds? Your company should have that aforementioned overdraft or operating line of credit with the bank in a perfect world.

 

 

CAN YOUR COMPANY SATISFY THESE  CRITERIA FOR BANK FINANCING / BANK LOANS?

 

 

This is the cheapest and lowest cost method of financing short-term cash and working capital needs in Canada. The challenge is, of course, being able to meet the bank's criteria for lending, which include personal guarantees, additional collateral possible, and imposed loan covenants and ratios.

 

 

ASSET  BASED LENDING / ASSET FINANCING SOLUTIONS SATISFY BUSINESS CAPITAL NEEDS 

 

A growing and more popular solution of raising funds is asset-based lending. This has little focus on the bank qualities demanded by Chartered banks and is more focused on what we discussed above, your firm's ability to margin and leverage current assets and turn them over more quickly, thereby increasing sales and profits, albeit at a higher financing cost of capital. The disadvantages of bank loans must be balanced against the higher cost of non-bank finance solutions.

 

SOURCE OF FUNDING SOLUTIONS IN CANADA :

 

A/R Financing / Factoring  / Invoicing Finance / Confidential Receivable Financing / Receivables loan - ( Suited for high growth firms and firms who are challenged in accessing bank capital.

 

Inventory Loans

 

Equipment Leasing

 

Asset-based credit facility - Non-Bank lines of credit

 

Bridge Loans/Sale Leasebacks

 

SR&ED Tax Credit Financing

 

Working Capital Loan / Merchant Cash Advance

 

  

BENEFITS OF ALTERNATIVE FINANCING SOURCES  

 

A prime advantage of non-conventional financing platforms lies in their adaptability. Contrary to traditional financing methods, these channels can offer capital to businesses irrespective of their scale or credit standing. Furthermore, these alternative finance options can expedite the funding process significantly, a crucial factor for businesses that need to seize growth prospects swiftly.

An additional boon of non-traditional financing methods is their capacity to connect businesses with a broader spectrum of investors. This advantage can facilitate firms in forging relationships with backers, allowing them access to fresh networks and resources, thereby aiding their growth and progression.

 

 

  

HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR FINANCING NEEDS  

 

Ultimately each Canadian business owner must understand their working capital needs and determine which solution works best for the most common funding sources for their business/industry when it comes to financial structuring.  Knowing which stages of financing and business lifecycle stage you are in vis a vis your growth cycle is key. Funding with debt must be carefully managed to ensure the debt/equity relationships stable.

You will either require or benefit from a financing business plan outlining your business needs, cash flow budget,  and growth plans. 7 Park Avenue Financial business plans meet and exceed commercial banks and non-bank lender requirements. Some owners choose to go the long route and explore grants for starting up a business.

The vast majority of firms in Canada aren't ready for equity financing and those venture capitalists yet as their source of funds - venture capital, friends and family, crowdfunding, bootstrapping, private sources of financing,   angel investors, private equity .. all of these dilute your ownership and, in 99%  of cases, are very complex transactions when it comes to the world of small business in Canada, versus accessing commercial loan options.

 

CONCLUSION - SOURCES OF FINANCE FOR BUSINESS / FUNDING FOR GROWTH

 

Financing sources of funds for business can be used to both start a business and acquire a business.  Finance for a business acquisition typically involves a term loan for the acquisition and ongoing operating financing. Financing startups is always a major challenge for entrepreneurs. Franchise financing for entrepreneurs is also a specialized financing solution and requires unique expertise.

 

Access to capital is key to all businesses in Canada - even large branded firms regularly seek capital to meet obligations and grow. Each industry typically has a unique funding model. It is important to access the right funding source to ensure you can properly repay obligations without impacting your business activity as you address how to get funding for your business.

 

We've shown several methods to financing a company by accessing small business financing options and capital sources in either traditional l or the newer alternative financing solutions in Canada. How does the business owner source funding and access the best capital structure and sources of credit?

 

Companies have the choice of:

Debt Financing

Cash Flow Financing /  Asset  Monetization

Equity / Mezzanine Finance

 

  

 

 

Non-traditional financing platforms offer numerous advantages to businesses, such as expedited funding procedures, adaptable qualification prerequisites, and exposure to an extensive investor network. However, these sources also carry their own set of hurdles and risks, encompassing potentially higher interest rates or equity contributions, and potential forfeiture of business autonomy.

 

Prior to diving into alternative financing, it's crucial to meticulously assess your firm's requirements, growth trajectory, and the associated risks and rewards of each capital source. By undertaking thorough research and making well-informed decisions, you can pinpoint the financing avenue that best aligns with your business's distinct aspirations and necessities.

Harnessing Accounts Receivable Financing Solutions: An Effective Solution for Business Cash Flow

 

Cash flow finance solutions in Canada are somewhat misunderstood and growing in popularity. To ensure you are a strong candidate for the A/R Financing boom it's, of course, necessary to understand what this short-term finance tool, aka ' factoring,' is all about

 

 

INTRODUCTION 

 

Accounts receivable factoring is a game-changer in business financing, providing a practical way for companies to stabilize their financial situation and drive growth. But what exactly does factoring entail, and how can it strengthen your company's cash flow?

Factoring and financing account receivables is crucial in managing liquidity by allowing businesses to sell their receivables. This enables a company to quickly access cash, reducing credit risk and improving cash flow. Additionally, the infusion of immediate capital empowers companies to fuel their expansion, covering daily operational costs and potentially expanding their product lines or services.

 

 

WHAT IS AR FINANCING FACTORING?

 

Accounts receivable financing through factoring is a financing method that enables businesses to promptly convert their unpaid invoices into immediate cash by selling them to a third-party company. This eliminates the need for businesses to wait for their customers to settle their invoices before accessing the funds required to sustain their operations. Instead, they can sell their invoices to a factor and receive a portion of the invoice value upfront.

 

Factoring AR financing is appealing, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses, as it offers a swift and streamlined alternative to traditional financing. It enables these businesses to quickly obtain the necessary funds without enduring the lengthy and often complex procedures associated with conventional financing. Furthermore, it saves companies valuable time and resources by relieving them of the responsibility of pursuing customers to pay outstanding invoices.

 

UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF THE FACTORING COMPANY IN CANADA

 

The terms  'factoring and accounts receivable ' are often intertwined and sometimes misunderstood - We're going to clarify some issues and debunk some of the misconceptions about how your firm can and should be financing its most liquid asset - accounts receivable! (Next to cash, that is!) So why would a small business need cash flow finance solutions? Let's dig in!

 

When a company can't leverage bank financing through traditional sources, and if they are unwilling to take on debt via working capital loans, then factoring is one solid solution to leverage cash flow and working capital. 

 

When appropriately financed, your accounts receivable can also help address other issues on your balance sheet, such as accounts payable and government super-priority payments. Key point - when financed properly!

 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FACTORING AND BANK FINANCING?

 

 

At 7 Park Avenue Financial, we get that a lot - Banks in Canada do not offer traditional factoring of accounts receivable. They use your invoices are collateral for a business loan.

Factoring companies purchase your receivables, while the bank registers security against your receivables and reserves the right to contact your clients for payment if you default on a loan.

 

The easiest way to understand it revolves around who owns your receivables, i.e. Banks or financial institutions that have purchased your a/r, or the factoring company. That's the most common misconception about accounts receivable factoring and a traditional bank loan or bank line of credit.

 

Factor solutions deposit the money into your business account usually the same day, or the next date latest, as you generate sales! The sale of A/R at your option is what factor finance is all about.

 

Bottom line? Accounts receivable financing is a loan, while factoring is simply the process of cash flowing through your sales. If a bank rejects financing for your business, factoring is an obvious solution and easily accessible as long as you understand the available fees and type of facilities.

 

The advance rate on factoring finance is usually in the 80-90 percent range, which we note is also much higher than a typical bank advance on receivables which tends to be in the 75% range for your company's AR.

 

 

 

ARE THERE ALTERNATIVES TO FACTORING  AS A CASH FLOW FINANCE SOLUTION  

 

As we have hinted, factoring via accounts receivable finance is not the only be-all and end-all solution. You can add new owner equity to your business or take on debt via a cash flow loan or term debt (Bridge loans or sales leasebacks come to mind).

 

Those, of course, are fixed options and must be met, come ' hell or high water' as your lender will note. So working capital solutions such as non-bank A/R financing add no debt to the balance sheet, yet they supply the needed cash.

 

Sales revenues via your receivables investment generate profits for your firm. The goal is to ensure that key assets - your sales & receivables are financed properly - keeping your balance sheet stable. Additional term debt can render your firm 'unstable’ given that not all customers pay immediately!

 

DON'T LET A LACK OF FINANCING LIMIT GROWTH PROSPECTS

 

Not all firms must secure and access business credit lines like bank facilities or commercial factoring solutions. However, when you don't, you'll often limit growth prospects. Self-financing companies are often viewed as stable and prosperous - it's just that without external financing, they don't often grow.

 

So the solution to growth finance. It's financing your accounts receivables as you generate sales. That helps to meet business goals, increase additional profits and grow the total value of your business.

 

ADDRESSING THE COST OF WORKING CAPITAL

 

When business owners / financial managers address the cost of external financing, several scenarios become very obvious:

 

-  Continue to self-finance and limit growth and competitiveness - including the apparent challenges around working capital and daily cash flows and payment of outstanding invoices

-   Borrow on a term debt or subordinated debt basis

-   Sell receivables as you generate them - increase sales and profits and capture all the opportunity costs of additional working capital

 

Somehow our third option remains more appealing!

 

So why do we not hear more about Canadian business owners who have discovered the holy grail of financing? When we talk to customers, we know the answer - they have entered the wrong factor facilities. By the way, every industry in Canada can access a/r financing if they are selling on a business-to-business basis for money.

 

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO FINANCE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR A SMALL BUSINESS?

 

The fragmented U.S. influence on factoring in Canada has many firms entering into the wrong type of facilities. We advocate CONFIDENTIAL RECEIVABLE FINANCING, also called 'non-notification factoring' with no locked-in contracts and fair, competitive pricing from the financing company. You manage your receivables until the invoice is paid, and you control the number of invoices your firm sells as cash is needed for day-to-day needs of funds.

HOW DOES A BUSINESS QUALIFY FOR AR FINANCE FACTORING?

 

To qualify for factoring AR financing, businesses typically need to meet the following criteria: Creditworthiness. While factoring in AR financing does not require businesses to have perfect credit, they still need to demonstrate that they are creditworthy.

Factors will typically look at the creditworthiness of the business's customers when evaluating whether to purchase their outstanding invoices. Outstanding Invoices To qualify for factoring AR financing, companies must have outstanding invoices to sell to a factor. Factors will typically only buy invoices that are due within 90 days.

 

Factors will typically work with businesses that are profitable or have the potential to become profitable shortly.

 

CONCLUSION - CANADIAN BUSINESS FINANCING OPTIONS

 

Business owners should ensure they understand the benefits of customer invoice factoring and selling accounts receivables, which can be done via receivable recourse factoring or non-recourse factoring, depending on whether your business wishes to maintain the credit and bad debt risk in your A/R - Non-notification AR financing offered via many factoring companies proves that   Confidential receivables finance is a solid solution allowing you to bill and collect your accounts.
