Is Your Company Properly Exploiting Equipment Lease Financing In Canada ?

Tweet




Equipment Finance In Canada is NOT an ultra secret project!

Information on equipment lease financing in Canada . Use these tips to exploit asset finance.

We previously wrote on some of the challenges that Canadian business owners and financial managers face in getting successful lease equipment financing in place for their assets and capital expenditures. The current difficult economic environment makes it more challenging than every for Canadian business owners to get the proper rate, terms, and structure that they deserve.

Success lease equipment financing requires a working knowledge of what the lessor is looking for in a transaction.

Owners can safely assume that the lender is doing significant work on financial statement analysis to satisfy them they are making a proper financing decision with you firm. Included in this analysis is strong emphasis on cash flow history and projections, operating efficiencies of your firm as measure by industry accepted ratios, and balance sheet analysis with respect to the amount of debt your firm is carrying, etc.

In our previous article we suggested that business owners should be aware of some key 'structuring options 'that lenders use when they are contemplating an approval that they are not 100% comfortable with. These options, previously discussed were:

- Utilizing higher rates to compensate for risk

- Use of Security Deposits

- Use of advance payments

- Structuring higher payments in the earlier years of the lease

- Shortening the lease term to offset long term risk

Business owners should be aware of some additional enhancements that can further a financing approval when your firm might not fully qualify for your desired amount of financing and overall structure.

Let's looks at some of those additional enhancements that compliment the 5 areas we have noted above.

Business owners who are not familiar with some of these financial nuances should employ the use of a trusted leasing advisor with credible experience, thereby significantly increasing their chances of getting a lease financing approved.

Business owners might not always be comfortable with providing a Personal Guarantee on the transaction; however personal guarantees are a clear fact of life in the Canadian business financing environment. The logic of the lender, in this case your equipment lessor, is that you are more motivated to make those payments if you are personally obligated in the matter also. Naturally companies incorporate to avoid personal liability but business owners are often called upon by lenders, lessor, etc to provide a guarantee. It goes without saying that the lender will also want to validate the quality of your personal guarantee.

In many cases you as a borrower, or the lender might request, additional collateral on the transaction. This would be collateral that is currently unencumbered, but in effect shores up the lessors overall position, allowing your transaction to be approved. In many cases you will be required to provide some form of documentation (usually an appraisal) of the additional asst.

In some circumstances an effective additional collateral might be credit life insurance on the transaction - in a smaller of mediums sized Canadian firm the lender / lessor may rely on that insurance in the event something happens to the owner, that something being ' death ' of course!

Not all Canadian business owners know that in some cases the manufacturer that you may be purchasing and financing the equipment through is in some cases agreeable to providing a limited or partial guarantee on your transaction. They are making a sale, generate profits from the sale to your firm, and may be able to remarket the asset if the lessor requests assistance in this area.

Finally, in some cases your lessor may request a letter of credit or Certificate of Cash deposit as additional collateral. In the authors experience this is rare, as your firm traditionally would note want to encumber cash in such a manner.

So what's our bottom line? It is simply that lease financing can be a challenge, but if you work with a lessor to offer up and co operate on some manner of structuring, as outlined above, then your chances of successfully getting a lease financing approval increase immensely!

Purchase Order Financing and Factoring

Tweet

Can you relate to the following statement a client once shared with us: 'Getting working capital financing for my orders and contracts actually is harder than getting the order itself?'

Your firm has the order and contract, now you just need to fulfill it to complete the job and get paid of course. It is the working capital and cash flow that come out of those contracts and orders that will of course help you grow sales and profits.

So how does purchase order financing and P.O. Factoring work in Canada? And is it actually available?! The answer to those two questions follows.

Purchase order financing or factoring provides you with capital for the key elements of your business, i.e. Product purchases, payroll, and working capital to carry receivables. Most clients we meet in the purchase order finance area have what can only be describe as the best and worst of problems - that is to say they have the order, they just don't have access to the capital to complete the order or project. You also don't want to strain your relationship with key suppliers, while at the same time you strive to deliver your product or service on an 'on time 'basis. Naturally your ability to accept larger orders enhances your overall competitiveness within your industry, and larger orders usually translate (hopefully!) into larger profits.

Canadian business owners and financial managers consider purchase order financing and the factoring of their purchase orders, but at the same time they don't want to take on additional debt, or give up ownership of their business to an investor / partner.

So how does this type of financing work in the day to day real world. You have a P.O. and contract from a legitimate credit worthy company - More often than not some of these clients can actually be outside of Canada - we see that all the time. The purchase order finance firm provides you with the minimum amount of capital you need to complete the orders. Many times this simply involves making payments to your supplies on your behalf.

Therefore the benefits of this type of Canadian business financing are very clear - your company can complete orders/contracts it might otherwise have been forced not to accept - no business owner hates to turn down business. You can often also leapfrog a competitor of similar size to yours by simply the ability to finance orders the competition might not be able to.

You could enter into long term working capital or cash flow loans, but these typically involve payments that are fixed over 3-5 years. Although purchase order financing is generally quite a bit more expensive than bank financing it allows you to do short term financing without taking on additional debt on your balance sheet.

In some cases the PO finance or P O Factoring firm could be asked to issue a letter or credit to a supplier on your behalf - that is also a common p.o financing and factoring strategy that achieves similar objectives.

Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced business financing advisor who can provide you with information on how PO financing and factoring works, how you access it, and who can also assist you in determining if the cost of the financing meets your business and financial objectives.

Business Line Of Credit Via Asset Finance & The ABL Lending Alternative

Tweet

The Case For Asset Based Lending Alternatives

OVERVIEW – Information on abl lending in Canada and why this new type of business line of credit can in many cases double your borrowing capacity for asset finance if you meet certain requirements

ABL lending under and asset finance scenario is a solid replacement for your required business line of credit solution .Let's cut rate to the chase, that’s often the best strategy in assessing a business decision.
More of than not you are either self financing currently (that’s not a perfect growth strategy by the way) or your ability to secure the business credit you need simply is not happening with your current banking or financing partner.

So let’s look at what’s required to bring you the full advantages of an ABL facility, that term being the acronym for ‘asset based lending' . The reason you are contemplating this type of business financing is simply, you want to maximize your borrowing power based on receivables, your inventory, and other potential assets which can actually be margined for temporarily liquidity. Think unencumbered equipment as an example.

Let's examine some of the key requirements for this type of facility. That will allow you to determine your overall success in securing a facility that meets all your needs, and comes at a cost that is commensurate with your situation. We mention cost briefly here in the context of our subject because many firms experience varying degrees of cost of financing in an ABL lending facility for their new business line of credit.

That is because asset finance pricing is based on criteria such as the overall financial health of your company. However, don’t despair because ABL lending actually works even if your company is in bankruptcy proceedings, because it always comes back to the same issue - if you have assets then an asset finance solution is possible!

So let’s get back to those requirements - they include receivables that are under 90 days, which typically are margined at 90% of their value. Next comes inventory, and here is where it can get tricky. Although your new ABL facility and business line of credit margins your inventory you must be able to demonstrate that the goods are saleable in some form - whether that be work in process, raw materials, or finished goods . Most companies usually have a combo of all three types.

Asset finance often doubles your borrowing power under this type of business line of credit. That’s because the firms that offer it are experts in their business - typically, more often than not, they are not banks, but private boutique type firms that specialize in business asset financing. But, and here is the ' but ' you need to demonstrate proper accounting and regular financial statements - i.e. on a monthly basis, and you should be able to provide accurate reporting on things such as aged receivables, perpetual inventory reporting , and, in some cases, an appraisal on your other business assets - since these are temporarily margined for liquidity .

What we are simply saying of course is that in order to borrow in an ABL lending environment you have to have solid business records and demonstrate you are in control of your key assets. That quite frankly should be your goal whether or not you are borrowing at all, don’t you think?

Speak to a trusted, credible, and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can help you maximize the benefits of asset finance and assist you in achieving full success in this non bank business line of credit facility that is becoming more common every day.

Working Capital Management And Cash Flow Loan Needs Satisfied !

Something Rotten In Cash Flow Land ?

5 Immediate Solutions To Working Capital Success

OVERVIEW – Information on 5 working capital management solutions for cash flow loan needs and why these solutions will address your cash flow challenges

Working capital management challenges often conjure up the fact that there's something rotten in cash flow land. Is there a solution to your cash flow needs? Is that type of loan even available? Let's dig in.
So let's assume we're a cash flow doctor! Does your company have any of these symptoms?

Mgmt focused on ' cash on hand ' almost all the time

Growing too quickly

Selling more - making less

No periodic cash flow budget plan

Inability to meet some of your business financial obligations

THE PRESCRIPTION : A cash flow solution that works specifically for your firm!


Expanding too quickly allows you to stay ahead of the competition of course, but brings with it something the finance folks call ' overtrading ' which is a cash conversion cycle of negativity when those commitments we referred to cant be made because of the high investment in receivables, inventory, and fixed assets you have made to grow your business .

Bottom line - you've got business assets, but they are all tied up, leading to a case of poor liquidity. And we must be honest here; if you didn't have the assets or sales potential there is almost no way we can help.

Your ability to bring liquidity and monetize your assets focuses strongly on identifying how you are able to convert assets to cash.

What about those solutions we've spoken of? It always comes down to current assets, so you require a solution to be able to monetize sales quickly, and convert A/R and inventory in working capital management success.

In Canada your alternatives are several, and quite frankly these would apply to almost any business anywhere. Many clients that come to us focus on what they term a ' cash flow loan '. Is that available, yes... is it recommended? Maybe! It's a term loan for permanent working capital. Naturally that comes with more debt and fixed interest payments, so that is many times not an optimal solution. But it is a permanent working capital solution.

Our other preferred solutions to the working capital management challenge are the following: Confidential invoice financing, asset based lending, purchase order financing, and inventory financing.

These solutions come in a variety of combinations depending on the size of your working capital requirement, as well, as the general financial profile of your business - i.e. are you currently financial challenged , or are all aspects of your business simply great . (It's rarely the latter when we talk to clients.

In summary, investigate the benefits and mechanics of the 5 solutions we have outlined. Determine which ones work for your firm, and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced business financing advisor on your ability to secure in short order the cash flow and working capital you need to run your business successfully.

Factoring Receivables : Some Business People Will Never Understand Alternative Solutions Via Canadian Financing Companies

Tweet



A/R Non Bank Financing & Business Credit Lines Aren’t Just Possible – They’re Here!

OVERVIEW – Information on key benefits of factoring receivables for Canadian companies and why this type of business financing can help you get out of the self financing cycle that holds back growth and profits

Factoring receivables is all about knowing you've made the best choice for your Canadian business financing needs. Business owners and financial mgrs have to pick the best firm to facilitate their funding and like most business folks they want to know they have made the right decision. Let's dig in.

First, let’s recap why A/R financing works, and more importantly, how to select the best companies to work with based on your own needs.

There are numerous reasons why you might want to use a factoring receivables strategy to finance your business. The best reason you can have is that you are growing! And growing quickly - Because in that situation you are unable to achieve the sort of traditional financing you need to run and finance your business on a daily basis.

Simply speaking working capital and cash flow become your overwhelming priority on a day to day basis, and that shouldn't be the case!

So, you've identified invoice factoring and financing as your solution - but more importantly you also want to know how it works and how it will both affect and benefit your business on a day to day basis. The reality is that if are a small and medium sized business owner in Canada you are probably relying heavily on what the finance folks call a ' self financing' strategy. That simply means that you are only using your existing cash flow to finance your growth and profits - you are not in a position to, or don't want to... take on more debt for your company.

Enter, stage left, receivables financing companies! They finance your a/r on a daily, weekly, monthly ( it’s your choice!) basis and provide you with same day cash flow as soon as you have generated a valid sale and invoice . Bottom line, you're just cash flowing your sales.

Why then does this strategy appeal to Canadian business owners? Simply because you are not creating debt on your balance sheet, and the personal guarantee situation is all but eliminated and you have the ability, ( if you choose the right partner firm ) to exit this financing at any time .

So, it all seems like a perfect world right? In effect the perfect business financing situation. Well in business it doesn't work that way, there are pitfalls and mistakes you need to avoid when utilizing a factoring receivables strategy.

So what are those mistakes you should not make? Partnering... you need a firm that meets your needs, both geographically, with competitive rates, and the ability to transact with you on a daily basis.

Our recommendation? A Confidential Receivables Finance solution. This allows you to bill and collect your own receivables, finance them when you want, and receive the same rates as your competitors who are using what we call ' old school ‘ factoring - In their case their customers are contacted for payment by the factor firm, and this is unappealing to many Canadian businesses. We, like you, hate that!

Whether we like it or not our clients always focus on rate when talking about a move to companies that will finance their receivables. Factoring rates are perceived as more expensive but in many cases when you factor in use of funds, ability to grow your business, etc the decision is not as difficult as you might think.

Speak to a trusted , credible, and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who is an expert in factoring pricing, picking the best solution for your firm, and negotiating pricing and fees and advances that work best for your future growth and profits .

Eliminate Commercial Finance Pressures With An Asset Based Lender

Tweet

Information for Canadian business owners and financial managers around a financing mechanism to solve for commercial finance pressures. Why an asset based lender might be your Canadian business financing solution.

Do commercial finance solutions seem out of reach - want a simple solution? Go visit a Canadian chartered bank and get all the business credit you need! Unrealistic... maybe, maybe not, but one sure fire solution for your problems might be an asset based lender.

For many years now the non bank asset based lenders have been working with firms such as yours on credit facilities that fit the real world need of your company when it comes to inventory, receivables, equipment and real estate.

Canadian business owners and financial managers are probably asking themselves why they haven't heard of this before - we'll hit you with another shocker, some of the Canadian banks even have internal divisions of asset based lenders that compete with their regular commercial banking business!

Anyway, the bottom line is that this Canadian business financing solution might be your ultimate cash flow and working capital solution.

For the uninformed asset based lending is essentially a revolving line of credit which provides you with working capital, cash flow to cover your operating expenses and growth needs. Why is it different then from a typical bank type operating loan? Simply because there is only one focus, the assets. And because the asset based lender is a specialist in commercial finance and the value of your assets you ability to draw on those assets intensifies greatly - in many cases you will obtain 50-100% more leverage on your current assets than you ever have before.

Again, why is this so different - its because the focus is on your personal credit, your company's current or past challenges... its solely on, you guessed it..' the assets'!

In certain cases even a purchase order financing type facility can be put in place, and more often than not the asset based lender will accommodate what we term as ' bulges' or unusual temporary needs of your business based on seasonal cash flow, large new orders or contracts, etc.

As a business owner we think you can see that the total focus now seems to be on your future sales ability and the overall bench strength of your assets. It certainly is not untypical to receive 90% financing on receivables and 50% or often more on your inventory as ongoing advances for your cash flow needs. We also tell clients that unencumbered equipment can be factored into the facility also, so you in effect have a fixed asset that provides you with working capital. That's creative financing!

Clients always asked what the approval criteria are - the truth is that the criteria that an asset based lender requires are significantly less demanding than those imposed by bank, the latter focusing on rations, covenants, external collateral, strength of persona guarantees, and on it goes.

Commercial finance made easy is a great by line for an asset based line of credit. After a standard business financing application and submission of back up date which would include aged receivable, inventory listing, equipment list, recent financial statements, etc you would typically receive an expression of interest. After initial due diligence on your overall asset size and quality typical security documentation and registration takes a couple of weeks.

Speak to a trusted, credible, and experience Canadian business financing advisor who can provide you with clarity on cost, process, and most importantly, the benefits of an asset based line of credit or working capital facility.
