WELCOME !

Thanks for dropping in for some hopefully great business info and on occasion some hopefully not too sarcastic comments on the state of Business Financing in Canada and what we are doing about it !

In 2004 I founded 7 PARK AVENUE FINANCIAL. At that time I had spent all my working life, at that time - Over 30 years in Commercial credit and lending and Canadian business financing.

Cash Flow Challenges ? Consider These Different Not What You Think Types Of Accounts Receivable Factoring Solutions









Looking To Escape From Business Cash Flow Challenges – Here’s How!



OVERVIEW – Information on accounts receivable financing in Canada . Factoring and other asset based lending solutions provide the cash flow you need to run and grow your business and profits






Cash flow solutions
, thankfully, are a lot more available and well used in today's often challenging business financing environment. Factoring, and other versions of the accounts receivable financing strategy could well be the ultimate solution to working capital needs. Let's dig in.

Almost all business owners / financial mgrs looking for SME Commercial Finance solutions are feeling the pain of slow payments from customers, including of course those large well known and powerful corporations that can wield accounts payable deferral power! Payments norms seem to be 60-120 days in many cases!


The irony is of course that many customers still post 30 day terms on their invoices and purchase order acknowledgements from their client base. No secret that slow payables = better cash flow.

We should not fail to mention of course that there is one very obvious 'non - financial 'solution for your company, and it does not even involve additional financing effort. It is simply to enforce collections more strongly and reduce what is known as your 'days sales outstanding 'to a more manageable level. Any major dent you can put in your 'D S O 'will improve working capital and cash flow.


So we have discussed why you want to factor receivables and to some extent what your non - financial solutions are. But let's just make sure we understand what we are talking about. When you are working under a bank facility your receivables are collateralized or pledged as a security for an overdraft

. That's the best simple way we have of explaining to clients what factoring is not! What it is, though, is the sale of your invoices, on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis (the flexibility is your choice), thereby increasing your advance rates on those receivables to the 80-90% range depending on the type of facility you have structured.
More cash flow and more immediate cash flow is the most obvious solution to factoring and accounts receivable financing.


We spoke of the price you have to pay in factoring receivables. When we sit down with clients we advise them there is a real price, i.e. the financing or invoice discounting cost, but, more apparently, the major change in the way day to day business changes from a paper flow and customer interaction basis.

If you negotiate the wrong type of facility you might find yourself in the same situation that many of our clients have found when they come to us with financing woes, which is simply that they feel that in spite of the significant cash improvement they in fact feel that their factor firm partner is running their business.


Many business owners who know little about factoring seem to know one thing, that it can be viewed as intrusive by their customers. You can eliminate that 'intrusiveness 'by ensuring you have the right type of facility, one that is priced right, has straightforward terms, and works on a day to day basis for you and your customers.

Have you investigated non bank asset based lines of credit and Confidential Receivable Financing? The best factor funding facility in fact, we feel, is the one that allows you to bill and collect your own receivables, while at the same time reaping all the benefits of accounts receivable discounting as factoring funding is also known.

So what's our bottom line in our cash flow information interchange - it simply:

Determine if you can achieve self financing status via the more prompt collection of receivables

Plan B?! If financing is in fact needed consider factoring financing as a working capital strategy.

If you're committed to ' escaping ' from cash flow challenge hell seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian Business Financing Advisor who can assist you with your cash flow needs.

Sources of Business Capital









Businesses that are growing require sources of capital. The capital in a company of course comes from the owner or borrowed funds. Generally speaking business owners prefer to borrow rather than sell equity in the company, as that sale of equity dilutes the ownership position, i.e. they own less of the pie! New equity can come from friends and family, venture capital firms, and angel investors. These parties are looking for good management, integrity, owner financial stake, and growth potential.

However, in the current difficult financial environment many lenders are in fact insisting that business owners put more of their own money into the company. There is never an easy answer when it comes to the debt or equity question.

When businesses borrow funds there is a cost to that capital - as interest on that debt reduces over-all profits. New equity in the company of course does not reduce those earnings, however the profits are distributed more widely and the earnings are proportionately reduced.

Borrowing funds of course comes with risk, as those loans must be repaid. Business owners sometimes get caught in the trap of financing long term projects with short term money - they are therefore at the mercy of having to always roll over that debt, and potentially also seeing rates go up, sometimes dramatically. Also, a business can carry only so much debt, at which point cash flow becomes a potential problem if the company is over leveraged.

Currently rates are very low for businesses that have access to capital. Therefore in many cases it might make sense to lock into longer term loans in the current attractive rate environment.

When the business owner has made the decision to purse business loans the old Boy Scout model works very well - BE PREPARED !
Business owners that do their homework will usually be successful. Lets not forget the banks and finance firms are actually in business to loan funds. Naturally collateral, or additional collateral certainly improves the chances of debt financing success and loan approval.

Debt and equity financing as a sources of capital should be used for the right reasons - expansion, seasonality of business, increased inventory and working capital that will increase sales. Funds that need to address business inadequacies such as poor management, financial losses, falling sales, etc are very difficult to come by!

In summary, business owners should carefully consider the positive and negative effects of additional debt or equity capital. Once they have made an informed decision, either on their own or with a trusted business advisor they should consider the cost of that capital and how it is best achieved.

Sred Financing Required ? Finance Your SR ED Tax Credit Claims Today Via Sr&Ed Finance Consultant Expertise














SR&ED Financing Still Works ! Here's Your How & Why


OVERVIEW – Information on SRED Financing in Canada. A tax credit loan for your r&d capital investment is a solid way to cash flow your research investment. Should you be talking to a SR ED finance consultant today?




A Sred financing tax credit loan is a great example of the good news around Canada's SR&ED program. If there's any ' bad news' it’s around the fact that once again some industry pundits are again wondering about the true benefit to Canada under its current ‘Scientific Research & Experimental Development" (aka ' SR&ED'!) program.

It also makes it even more important to realize the quicker and efficient cash recapture of your R&D capital investment via the help of a SR ED finance consultant. Let's dig in.

While thousands of firms are still aggressively planning to file claims via their Sr&ed consultant for their non repayable tax credit refund just as many might be wondering if financing that claim is still valid and accessible . The answer - a resounding yes! While some business owners might view the program as a bit of ' danger and complexity ' that's definitely not the SRED loan process - which is, to put it simply - easy!

We're the first to admit that properly preparing and submitting a claim is not for newbie and the weak of heart. Never has been your ability to prepare a proper claim, with proper assistance more important. The 1400 words and 3 questions you are required to an address have never seemed more important

Statistics in recent years show that over 20,000 claims annually, if not more are filed by firms just like yours. And as a note from our view in the trenches, all of those firms still view that tax credit claim as a key, if not major source of financing for their firm.

It's the private companies in the SME ( small to medium enterprise ) sector that file the majority of those claims .That cash flow, when received allows them to do a number of things, including furthering additional r&d, starting or furthering revenue and marketing , and by virtue of that Sr&ed work maintaining their particular dominance in their niche . The program has been around for over 30 years now and understanding the rules and the ' culture' around SR&ED is important.

Again, we'll leave that to the experts, pundits, and oh my god the politicians to assess the benefits and historical culture/perspective around SR ED - We'll focus instead on the monetizing of those claims into real cash flow and working capital.

Your SRED financing can take one of two forms in Canada. You can cash flow your claim anytime immediately after you file it, or alternatively (with a bit of a track record behind you) you can finance your claim on an accrual basis.

The accrual concept is becoming increasingly popular as it simple fast tracks cash flow re your R&D capital spend. In essence you're recovering a portion of your R&D as you spend on it. That's a solid business premise as most Canadian business owners and financial managers would agree.

SRED finance is agnostic to who prepares your claim, if, and it's a pretty basic if, your claim is prepared by a bona fide Sr&ed consultant with some level of credentials and expertise. As the majority of sred consultants seem to work on contingency naturally they are in some ways more at risk than your firm, so it's quite easy via references to find a suitable party to submit your claim. It's these consultants that address key issues such as technical policies, claim eligibility, expenditures qualifying, etc.

Looking for something simpler in the whole SR&ED process? The actual financing of your tax credit! Simple, as we stated. We explain to clients that they should view the process as a standard business application that is secured by the tax credit claim itself.

Other key aspects of the Sred financing? The basics are as follows: 70% loan to value funding for your filed claim. Typically no payments are made during the duration of the loan, and final adjustments are made at government finalization, returning to your firm the balance of 30% less financing costs. Accrual financing for your tax credit claim might be funded at a lower loan to value.

Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can assist you with your tax credit finance loan today. Think of that person as part of your total SR&ED process!

The Key To Working Capital Financing - Asset Based Lenders









Information on working capital financing and asset based lines of credit offered by asset based lenders in Canada. How these facilities improve and increase your cash flow.




Wondering how your competition seems to have all the working capital financing they need and you don't - the key to that answer might just be asset based lenders and the asset based lines of credit they offer to Canadian businesses such as yours.

Let's examine how this relatively new and unique method of business financing can totally alter your business financing success.

The acronym for this type of financing is A B L; simply speaking its daily cash flow provide against your current, and sometimes now so current assets. What do we mean by that? Simply that this facility allows you to margin your receivables, inventory, and in most cases, should you choose, fixed assets and real estate. You are probably saying to yourself that you could arrange financing on your own re those fixed assets and real estate - but we are talking about using those assets as collateral for your daily revolving line of credit. So you aren't borrowing, you are not bringing debt on to your balance sheet, you are just leveraging your ' assets ' (that's the 'A' in ABL!) for daily cash flow and working capital.

And why are we claiming that this type of working capital financing just might be your key to business success. Simply because you have probably found it has been challenging to get the full amount of business credit you need. In some cases you might have discovered its been a challenge to get business lines of credit of any manner.

So if your competitors are using this type of financing today, who exactly is eligible for it, and is your firm a candidate. The answer is simply that if your firm has a combination of 250k in working capital assets you are immediately eligible for asset based lines of credit. We would add that firms with smaller asset sizes can still monetize those receivables via invoice financing or discounting, but that's not our key focus for today's information exchange.

So now you now the offering are out there. But why should you consider it. Simply because your firm might be in one of a number of special situations - that includes issues such as your need for increased daily operating cash, you wish to merge with or finance an acquisition, you have been unable to obtain inventory financing elsewhere, you are growing to quickly for traditional Canadian chartered banking financing, etc! We are pretty sure you get the picture now!











The benefits to this type of business financing must by now be pretty obvious. It's all about access to working capital financing and cash flow that you couldn't access before. Assets that couldn't be financed are now financeable, and inventory financing, previously limited or unavailable now looms on your growth horizon.

Who are these asset based lenders, and what is the cost of this financing? We'll leave that one for another day, but if you want to investigate asset based lines of credit for your firm ( remember, your competitor probably already has ) then speak to a trusted, credible, and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who will assist you with identifying benefits and the best solution for your current strained needs in business finance.

Business Credit Line Via Asset Finance in Canada ? 3 Things You Must Know About This Working Capital Solution










Could Your Search For A Business Credit Line Be In Plain Sight?





OVERVIEW – Information on business credit line solutions in Canada. Asset finance solutions can provide the working capital you need to grow and run your business – Here’s what you need to know




Business credit line
solutions in Canada , surprise to some, might include asset finance lending as an alternative to working capital and cash flow generation . Why is this lending becoming so popular in Canada? We think we know why - let's dig in!

When we meet with clients to discuss the benefits of asset based lending and asset based lines of credit we highlight three things they need to know. Those 3 things are as follows:

1. Business owners / financial mgrs need to know what an asset based line of credit is and what it is not

2. Understanding the qualifications and daily mechanics of the facility is important

3. Asset based financing pricing differs - here's why

So let's examine some of the key data you need to know to determine if this type of financing meets your company's needs, and that you can benefit from the facility.

First of all in terms of what we are discussing an asset based line of credit is not an asset loan per se - There is no additional debt that appears on your balance sheet, if, for example, you were thinking this asset loan is in fact term debt. It is not. It is simply what we can call cash lending, or cash flow monetization - your firm is utilizing asset based financing as an alternative method to generate business financing.

Due to ongoing tight credit conditions and the generally improving prospects of Canadian firms it is becoming an increasing attractive method of financing your firm - especially those focused on growth/expansion/new markets, etc.

An even better way to think of it is to view it as a direct competitor to chartered bank lending in Canada, on an ' operating ' or revolver basis. Your firm would consider this type of financing in one of two circumstances - you don't qualify for bank financing, or, as in many cases, you have financing in place but it simply does not supply with the amount of cash flow and working capital you need.

Let's move on to # 2 - qualifications and methodology. In general asset based financing in the form of a revolving facility is available to any firm. We tell clients that a solid entry point with respect to financing needs is in the area of 250k and above. If you didn't know it some of Canada's largest corporations utilize this type of financing - if they do why shouldn't your firm consider this alternative.

On an ongoing basis you simply supply, usually monthly, reports on your receivable and inventory levels. You are then advanced funds against these two asset based balance sheet accounts. The only difference is that in general, 99% of the time you receive higher advances on your receivables and inventory than you would from a bank. The reason is that the banks focus on traditional balance sheet, income statement and operating metrics - while an asset based line of credit focuses predominantly on one thing, your assets. (Typically combinations of A/R, inventory, fixed assets/equipment, and real estate, if applicable.

Pricing in Canada is all over the place with respect to these types of facilities. We tell clients this is for a number of reasons , one of which is simply that the Canadian market is under developed in this area and consists of some large U.S. firms, and a number of smaller Canadian firms, privately owned, who are in some cases geographically constrained or have certain limits themselves with respect to their own capital based .

Pricing in Canada varies from 9% per annum, and can in fact go up to 1.5-2% per month if in fact your firm has significant challenges but could benefit from the financing.

Your ability to turn assets quicker and generate more cash and profits can significantly offset any cost. For this reason we recommend to clients that you deal with a trusted, credible, and experience advisor in this area who can confidently walk you through the asset finance maze.

Working Capital Finance - Your Problem - Our Solutions













It would be great to hear our clients say they have no issues in working capital finance and challenges, and that solving cash flow problems is the least of their worries. Unfortunately we haven't met one customer that seems to be comfortable sharing that with us.

Let's look at the root of some of those working capital challenges; what are the problems, what caused the problems and then talk about why you are probably reading this... you want working capital solutions.

It's of course great to have sales - and sales and profits are even better. In general when you have those you have the essence of a healthy business. But those are in effect what we could call paper transactions and it always comes back to 100 year old clichés such as ' cash is king ' and 'the sale isn't made until you're paid '.

That cash is required for all those mundane things, paying suppliers, paying employees, and meeting your obligations on loans and leases.

Your challenge is typical, how you do create a flow of cash in the long term, as well as addressing short term bulges to ensure you have liquidity.

Naturally when you have a good handle on cash flow everyone views you in a positive light, most importantly your suppliers and lenders.

The solutions to cash flow challenges often come out of inability to plan or address the right type of cash flow solution. You run the risk of liquidity problems when you current assets aren't able to be converted in a timely manner into cash - those assets are typically receivables and inventory.

There isn't a day when we don't run into a textbook type of working capital finance challenge - it's as simple as requiring product to satisfy regular or new large orders, generating invoicing, and then waiting 30, 60 or 90 days for payment. That is the textbook challenge when we talk to clients asking us for assistance in solving cash flow problems.

So we have done a pretty good job of telling you what your problems and challenges are - let's address some real world solutions.

At the core of working capital finance challenges are you inability to access business credit. We encourage all customers to seek Canadian chartered bank business credit when they are in a position to do so. Unfortunately many clients can't meet business net worth, personal net worth, and liquidity ratios and covenants your bank might require. Also we strongly believe that inventory financing by banks in Canada is increasingly more difficult to achieve.

Don't borrow - monetize. That's the best advice and plan we set our with clients to solve cash flow problems. You could get a working capital cash flow term loan, but that just creates additional debt on your balance sheet. Instead, take those assets you already have on your books and monetize them - those assets are the previously mentioned inventory, A/R, and in some cases tax credits due your firm as well as unencumbered equipment.

Liquidity for those assets can be achieved by a receivable financing program, an asset based line of credit, or a short term bridge loan on an asset such as a tax credit or paid for fixed asset such as equipment. Many of these solutions are outside the chartered bank system in Canada and can be accessed by talking to a trusted, credible and experience Canadian business financing advisor.

Your ability to monetize your assets, keep suppliers paid and current and then having the ability to grow your business when you assess and consider monetizing assets into short term liquidity.
