Asset Based Lender Solutions: Journey To The Center Of Non-Bank Receivables Financing








The Reviews Are In : Asset Based Lending Is A Hit!








OVERVIEW – Information on asset based lender solutions in Canada. Receivables financing is a cornerstone of asset finance for cash flow and working capital needs in Canadian business finance






Receivables financing in Canada is in somewhat the crown jewel of the asset based lender. We're taking you to the center of non bank A/R financing. Let's dig gin.

Asset based lenders are almost always ' business to business ' type lenders for working capital and cash flow financing needs for almost every size of business - from startups to sizeable corporations. The financing that these firms provide allows your company to consider almost all options - that includes:

Growing your business

Expanding into new products/services and geographies

Engineering a turnaround

Refinancing

Companies that typically manage their A/R well are also more inclined to take advantages of supplier pricing/discounts and are viewed more positively by trade creditors. A solid receivable financing solution will allow your company to do that.

Why do thousands of businesses seek and utilized the services of an asset based lender that specializes in A/R solutions. One of the most common reasons is their company's inability to access traditional bank financing. Owners are typically reluctant or unable to access additional equity financing that might be used to bolster cash flow.

One key aspect of a non bank A/R financing solutions is the fact that a full facility will also include combining inventory and fixed assets into that same credit line!

These solutions typically do not compete with banks as they are taking on more and different assets in an entirely different manner when it comes to margin calculations and borrowing limits. The asset based lender typically advances 90% of A/R as well as higher margins on both inventory and equipment which become part of that new borrowing facility.

Non bank lenders also have the reputation of being timelier on approval. It is critical to note that in almost all cases the typical asset based borrower has a goal to migrate back to traditional banking.

While bank credit lines typically tend to have fixed credit lines and yearly renewals the true beauty of receivables finance from asset based lenders is the flexibility to grow the facility almost instantly as sales and working capital assets grow. Simply speaking these facilities fund growth!

What do asset based lenders look at when it comes to approving and setting up such facilities. Key issues include:

Cash flows within the business

The ability of the company to report on financial performance - i.e. monthly financial and aged schedules of A/R and a/p

Government sources deductions being paid (Note - in numerous cases asset based lenders will construct financing to handle and payout CRA arrears)

Profitability (or the road to profitability)

Asset lenders put appropriate controls in place to make sure credit facilities are properly controlled.

Bottom line, its official - Asset Based Lending is a hit with companies of all size and financial position in Canada. Seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success who can help you put working capital/cash flow solutions in place that match your firms borrowing needs.

Business Loan Funding In Canada : One Step Closer To The Right Financing & Lenders










Financing Your Business : Not A Scientific Mystery







OVERVIEW – Information on business loan funding in Canada. Financing via the right lenders is your Job #1







Business loan funding in Canada shouldn't be some sort of ' scientific mystery ' when it comes to choosing and properly accessing the right financing from commercial lenders, including Cdn chartered banks. We're putting you one step close to the right finance solutions for your business. Let's dig in.

It shouldn't be a secret that successful business financing is in fact a process that requires a solid understanding of your current finance structure as well as knowing which equity, debt and asset financing/monetization strategies work for your firm. We're focusing on debt and cash flowing/financing your assets - the equity challenge is a whole different kettle of fish.

The basic challenge around taking on new debt or loans is that if done improperly the problems that arise from that impact your ability to run and grow your business. In certain cases, in fact most of the time there are conditions, covenants, and personal guarantees that impact the behavior of both owners and their financial mgrs.

When you take on any secured debt it's important to focus on your comfort level around repaying any loan from your cash flow. Naturally assets secured under that financing are the collateral for those loans and are subject to any default scenarios.

That brings us to the solutions provided by unsecured loans. These loans come with no tangible security but are of course more costly and present challenges to both borrower and lender alike. A good example of unsecured loans is the area of ' mezzanine finance ‘, essentially unsecured cash flow loans.

As we've maintained it's no ' scientific mystery ' around securing business financing. Your request comes with some basic requirements, typically a business plan or strong executive summary, financial statements, and a cash flow forecast. The critical requirement in a cash flow forecast? It's showing how the loan will be realistically repaid. Certain loans and types of financing are well suited to buying/merging with another business. Here's it essential to show the combined strengths of the new business.

What in fact will lenders look at when it comes to getting you ' one step closer' to financing approval? They will in fact look at:

Assumptions/forecasts
Operating efficiency of the business
Asset levels/ quality of assets

In certain cases third parties such as appraisers of business valuators might be involved in certain finance transactions, especially if your financing needs are larger.

A final word? Simply that it's critical for owners/mgrs to understand how different loans and asset financing/ cash flow financing work. There are numerous differences in how the following types of solutions can help you run and grow your business -

A/R Financing

Inventory Loans

PO Financing

Short term cash flow loans

Franchise Loans

Equipment Financing

Asset based lending

Non bank asset based business credit lines

SR&ED Financing loans

Unsecured cash flow loans

Bank lines of credit / term loans


Looking to get one step closer to the right type of financing for your company? Seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can assist you with your business loan funding needs.

Government Loans & SRED Financing Are 2 Business Loan Solutions You Shouldn’t Ignore










Free Money ? Not Really , But Is Your Company Acing These Two Government Financing Solutions?





OVERVIEW – Information on government loans in Canada. SRED Financing and the govt guaranteed small business loans ( not ‘ small “ anymore!) could be are great funding solutions for your company






Business Loan needs ? Government Financing ? We’re often asked by customers if there are grants and loans available for their business in Canada. On many occasions these firms are either a start up or pre-revenue. There is a general belief that there is 'free money' out there, and people are trying to find it! I categorically believe there is no free money available - if that was the case can you just imagine?!


However, there are some excellent programs, two in particular, that in our opinion are the two best government programs for Canadian business in the SMALL MEDIUM ENTERPRISE ' SME' sector.


The Canadian government has allocated hundreds of millions of dollars into what is known as the CSBF Loan program. The government provides a lot of data at its website around the availability of the program, how it works, and who is eligible.
While some of the information might seem overwhelming there is a lot of assistance available. For the purposes of this article we will share that the program is available to all new or established firms with revenues under five Million dollars. We note also that the program does not apply to publicly listed companies.


Most people that are familiar with the program might not know that in the current 2009 world economic crisis the government increased the amount of these loans to $ 350,000.00 and in some cases $ 500,000.00. Yet recently the funding amount has been increased to $1,000,000.00.
How can you qualify for the program, and, more importantly, do you qualify?


Customers need to review the classes of assets that can be financed. The true power of the program is that the rates are only 3% over prime, currently in the 5% range. Terms of repayment are 5-10 years, and, are you ready, a full personal guarantee of payment is not required!
Typically these programs are used by companies to acquire assets, improve their business, purchase or develop software, and even in some cases buy real estate.


Do Canadian business owners know that the government can assist them in purchasing business real estate with limited guarantees and great rates and terms? We don't think so!


If business principals feel they are adequately prepared to source out this programs financing power we strongly recommend that they begin this process. However, not everyone has the time, financial skills or acumen, and the ability or comfort level to complete this financing.
Those people should seek out the aid of a trusted advisor and business financing expert in order to maximize their participation in the program.
Let's get back to free money! Does it exist? Again, not really. But would you like to receive a check from the government for any processes, research or innovation that your firm has developed? If so you want to maximize your participation in the governments SR ED tax credit program.


If your company needs assistance with SR&ED financing solutions and / or the Govt Guaranteed Small Business Loan seek out and speak with a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success who can assist you with your finance needs.

Accounts receivable financing needs often can bring a ' world of pain ' into the life of your business. How does the owner/financial mgr overcome that challenge of receivables loan funding? We think we've got it down pat.

Part of the challenge in this critical area of business is knowing who in fact carries the solution to your business financing, working capital and cash flow needs. The reality? It's one of three possible finance providers in this area of Canadian business financing.

Want to feel relaxed? That relaxing feeling, when it comes to A/R finance revolves around the owner/mgrs wish to bill and collect their own receivables. Banks and insurance firms will of course let you do that, but many commercial finance companies will insist on some sort of lock box or notification to your clients of their financing process.

The solution? Confidential receivable financing, allowing you to bill and collect your own accounts while funding your sales on an ongoing basis.
Naturally the overall financial strength of your firm will dictate which solution is most attainable

Companies with stable or growing sales and reasonable A/R quality are the best candidates for business credit lines and factoring solutions.

What issues should the business owner/financial mgr be prepared to investigate, address and discuss when contemplating a financial solution. They include:

What formula will be used to calculate monthly borrowing capability?

Interest rate or financing cost

Miscellaneous fees

Collateral

Ratios or covenants


There's no question that if your sales revenues are growing your need for a business credit line via accounts receivable financing will strongly emerge. The positive cash flow generated from these funding solutions will help you grow future sales and hopefully profits.

Business Cash Flow Financing : Which Commercial Loans & Which Lenders?





Does Your Firm's Cash Flow Support Additional Borrowing? 1 Is The Magic Number!




OVERVIEW – Information on business cash flow financing in Canada . Commercial loans come from a variety of lenders. Does your firm have what it takes?



When business owners and financial managers contemplate additional borrowing for their firm they must think it terms of whether the business does, or will have, enough cash flow to make the debt repayments. We can further assure business owners that the bank or lending institution is thinking the same way!


When businesses enter into bank loans or other institutional loans the payments are, 99% of the time fixed and specified. The business owner and financial manager must ensure those payments can be made. If the company has over relied on debt it is viewed as highly leverage by the lender.
So how can a business owner determine if the company has the cash flow to support the debt? More importantly how does the lender do that calculation?
The calculation that banks and other term lenders focus on is called 'Times Interest Earned '. The business owner (and the banker) can calculate that formula very simply.

The Times Interest formula is calculated as follows:

Net profit before taxes, plus interest expense / divided by interest expense


The calculation becomes an absolute number. If the number is in fact '1 'that means that the company has in fact made just enough to pay the exact interest expense for the year. We would point out that this calculation is always usually done on an annual basis.
So is '1' the magic number? The answer is no, and the answer should be intuitive to the business owner. That is because a times interest of 1 means there is absolutely no cushion for anything going wrong, and all business owners no about Murphy's Law!


So if earning decline or if the company takes on additional debt our ' times interest earned ' number become unsatisfactory - that is to say that we have determined there is not sufficient cash flow to service the debt.


We have determined '1' is not a great number then, well what is? The answer, as in many facets of business, is of course 'that depends '. Many industries differ and there is not really any specific number that is viewed as the Holy Grail by lenders. What we have found though that higher is better than lower. When the number is hovering around 1 both the business owner and the lender, should and will, respectively, have some concern.
We point out also that income, as a key component in our calculation varies between companies in final calculation re tax rate and other accounting adjustments. Some lenders and business owners also add deprecation to the profit because it is not a real cash expense.


Another quick calculation business people can perform is to calculate the cash flow number as a per cent age of debt. This calculation is often done by lenders to ensure long term debt is not being miss-used. If a company has a high percentage of total debt to cash flow it should be a strong indicator to the company owners that growth will be constrained, as all cash is going to debt, not growth. Therefore new equipment, inventory, receivables, etc will suffer in terms of growth.


In summary, business owners, by doing actual current calculations, as well as projections, can easily calculate their 'times interest earned' and cash flow as % of debt. This will allow the business to position loan repayments positively with their lenders, at the same time providing them with insights into how the bank or other lender will view payment capability.


Seek out and speak to a trusted , credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can assist you with your business loan , cash flow financing and asset monetization needs.

Business Financing In Canada: Your Search For Revolving Loans & The Right Credit Facility Just Ended






Here’s The Good Stuff On Revolving Loans



OVERVIEW – Information on revolving loans in Canada. Business financing often requires need for a credit facility. How do these work , what are your options for this type of solution ?








Business financing in Canada often ' revolves ' around the need to include revolving loans in your business finance mix. How does this type of credit facility work?




The key aspect of revolving business lines of credit is clearly ' flexibility'. The continual drawdown and repaying of the facility creates a ' pay as you go ' scenario as businesses both use and consume cash as they run and grow their business. That's the good news!

The key differentiator in business credit facilities that revolve is that it's not a term loan, via that continual drawing down and repayment we just referenced. However like term loans they do often come with ' limits’, but more importantly they vary with your assets.

Here an important distinction occurs. When it comes to bank credit lines these pre-imposed limits are often fixed and relate directly to typically receivables and inventory. However, if you chose an asset based non bank line of credit via a commercial finance firm that borrowing base typically has no upward limit if you in fact have growing sales and commensurate assets.

That monthly ' borrowing base' that banks and asset finance companies utilize comes with some pretty basic formulas. In the case of banks, utilizing receivables as an example the borrowing base is 75% of your A/R; asset based lenders typically lend against 90%. (In both cases receivables must be under 90 days old)

Various nuances might exist in your A/R margining relating typical to issues such as government receivables, high balance concentrations with one customer, etc.

Revolving loans from banks come with various covenants and restrictions. In general we can make the statement there is a lot less restriction from non bank asset lenders on this issue.

What then are some of the key issues around pricing revolving loan credit facilities? No one disputes the fact that Cdn chartered banks offer the lowest cost business financing rates - if you can satisfy the risk profile desired by the banks. That risk profile typically includes growing sales, profits, clean balance sheets and demonstrable cash flows.

Interest rate pricing on non bank asset financings varies proportionately to credit risk. The good news here is simply that almost any firm with sales and assets is eligible for asset based credit lines. So it’s overall credit risk and the amount and type of debt a company has is the driver behind asset based revolving loans.

If you're on the search for the right type of credit facility for your firm your search will almost always end well by seeking out a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success who can assist you with your credit facility needs.
