Introduction: Financing Business Cash Flow in Canada: Navigating the Snakes & Ladders

 

 

 

The Constant Need For Working Capital 

 

 

Financing business cash flow in Canada often has business owners, particularly in SME Commercial industries, feeling like they are playing a constant game of 'Snakes & Ladders' - that iconic game that has one being helped and hindered simultaneously. We're talking about getting more money... from your business money. Let's dig in.

 

Unsecured business lending is an essential financial solution for companies focused on growing a business without the focus and need for collateral. It's a flexible financing method for entrepreneurs seeking to grow their businesses, focusing on expanding sales, managing cash flows, and investing in new opportunities.

 

Spotting Working Capital Needs

 

The winning part of the cash flow 'snakes & ladders’ game is spotting working capital needs long before bad news. Business owners and financial managers are often far too focused on growing revenues and paper profits, usually spending in classic entrepreneurial optimism areas.

 

 

Knowing Your Limitations 

 

 

Knowing your limitations in areas such as taking on debt, financing current assets (A/R & inventories), and determining what owner/shareholder dividends can be paid is all part of winning the business cash flow problem.

 

 

Managing and Financing Working Capital 

 

It shouldn't be surprising (but it often is) that there are some simple yet intelligent ways to manage and finance your working capital needs. One of the most useful and practical is simply keeping an ongoing tab on the 'relationship' of receivables and inventories. The ultimate danger is when A/R is higher than it needs to be and inventories are bloated/slow-turning.

 

 

Focus of Commercial Lenders 

 

Commercial lenders you are considering borrowing from for a business credit line need to focus on those relationships and turnover in sales, A/R, and inventory. Reasons for slow-moving receivables are stagnant sales, poor collections, and extended payment terms granted to your clients.

 

Monitoring Key Balance Sheet Relationships

 

Your goal in constantly monitoring sales, A/R, and inventory is to ensure you are not moving potential cash from one unproductive asset category to another! Simply speaking, no owner/manager can ignore a strong focus in this area of business management.

 

 

Simple Monitoring Techniques 

 

Looking for a simple way to monitor these key relationships? Set up a basic spreadsheet that monitors the sales, A/R, and inventory values at month-end. Examine these at least once a month.

 

 

A Cash Flow Focus  Example 

 

Example—Your month-end sales have increased 15%, but receivable totals are up 35%, and inventories are up 10%. A/R should be your focus, and the higher investment you're carrying in receivables indicates a potential cash flow shortage.
