INVOICE FINANCE SOLUTIONS IN CANADA

 

Confidential Invoice Factoring & AR Discounting in Canada. The whole issue of receivable finance is always a bit controversial. That is whether it is part of the debate of whether invoice factoring is a non-traditional type of financing, or often the issue simply revolves around the cost and day-to-day dynamics of this method of financing your business. 

 

THE SALES GROWTH / CASH FLOW BATTLE

 

Let's take a step back for a minute.  Every business owner and financial manager recognizes the constant battle between sales growth and their cash flow challenges. It's essentially a constant battle for supremacy almost, don’t you think? Those unpaid invoices add to the working capital challenge

 

ARE CANADIAN BANKS THE ' GO-TO' SOLUTION

 

Canadian businesses have been intuitively addressing our Canadian chartered banks as  ' the' solution to their financing needs. However, experts tell us that a large majority of Canadian businesses do not have the access they need to ongoing working and or long-term capital.

 

That lack of capital essentially becomes an ' obstacle to growth, often being a larger challenge than growing your revenues, beating your competition and managing your assets

 

 

WHAT IS CONFIDENTIAL INVOICE DISCOUNTING?

 

Confidential a/r financing allows companies to generate cash flow while maintaining control of their sales ledger - allowing them to bill and collect their receivables without the notification required by traditional ' old school ' factoring companies.

 

 

 

CONFIDENTIAL RECEIVABLE FINANCE SOLUTIONS CAN SOLVE THE WORKING CAPITAL FINANCING PROBLEM

 

We maintain that using what we term a ' confidential’ receivable finance program is one way to ' diffuse ' the whole issue. How? Simply by providing you with a method of financing your business through the growth in A/R that comes from sales in a manner that lets you be totally in charge of your billing, collecting, and client relationships... all the while having total access to cash flow for every sale you make. All the time, or some of the time!

 

Confidential invoice factoring and discounting is fast becoming a preferred solution for funding Canadian businesses via invoice discounting companies. While cost is often a factor in the decision to finance your company in this manner the ability to get all the cash you need all of a sudden becomes a very acceptable option.

HOW DOES CONFIDENTIAL A/R DISCOUNTING DIFFER

AR Discounting facilities, on a confidential basis, work the same way as traditional asset factoring. It simply a process in which a charge, similar to the Canadian bank agreements is placed against your receivables. The application process is always significantly faster than a bank-type financing.

 

 In cases where it makes sense to all parties the Canadian business owner and financial manager might be surprised to know that the Confidential facility can co-exist with your bank arrangement if you have one,  if, and its a big if, it makes sense to all parties: your firm, your bank, and your Confidential AR finance provider. That's probably more of a subject for another day.

 

NON-NOTIFICATION IS THE KEY!

Part of the attraction of a confidential facility is that there is no relationship interference between your company, your clients, or vendors. A lot of the controversy around traditional factoring and invoice discounting in Canada arises from the concern of client perception, especially if you're dealing with larger companies. That becomes a non-issue when the customer pays, because your confidential AR facility allows you to bill and collect your receivables, all the while generating cash regularly consistent with your sales.
