SOLVING BUSINESS FINANCING CHALLENGES
Understanding Business Funding Challenges
Introduction - Proactive Techniques for Better Business Health
Business finance problems. Do you have the ability to spot financing challenges when it comes to the immediate and longer-term issues that face your firm in the Canadian business environment?
We have always felt that some positive, proactive techniques and information can go a long way toward improving your health—and that's better business health, by the way!
It's easy for an outsider to revert to the textbooks on this one, and larger corporations have access to all sorts of advisory advice.
The business owners and managers of small and medium-sized corporations in Canada have the tools; they just need to know how to use them. Technically speaking (and we promise to try not to do a lot of that), it's about understanding your financial and operating leverage.
Creating an Early Warning System
In reality, by using basic and time-tested tools, you're, in effect, creating an early warning system for business finance problems and financing challenges you may face now or in the future.
And the goal is pretty clear. It's about fulfilling your financing and contract obligations while growing and profiting.
Monitoring Customer Financial Health
Many finance problems revolve around your favorite entity, your customer. Therefore, it's prudent always to understand your customer's financial health.
This can be accomplished in several ways. If you don't think major corporations ask for their clients' financial statements, you're simply wrong.
Small and medium-sized corporations can utilize various tools to monitor customer financial health. Monitoring payment habits over time is a great tool for spotting deterioration.
You have to be open to realizing some of your current financing challenges. That's often tough for the business owner to admit because most entrepreneurs we meet are optimistic, sometimes excessively so, which is a double-edged sword.
Analyzing Your Financial Health
Can Your Balance Sheet Predict Failure?
Can your balance sheet predict failure?
A lot of history tells us it can, and there's some pretty basic stuff here, like knowing the real value of your assets, not the book values when negotiating with Tier 1 or Tier 2 lenders.
While cash and receivables are the two most liquid parts of your balance sheet, even those receivables might misrepresent your firm's true value if they are uncollectible or uncollectible in a timely fashion.
Key Financial Ratios
While it may seem unappealing to spend too much time analyzing your financial health, just some very basic ratios (we've always called them relationships) in 4 areas - liquidity, leverage, activity, and profit will give you a great total view of your firm's current or upcoming challenges.
