FINANCING RECEIVABLES IN CANADA

 

Are Receivable Finance Options and Cash Flow Financing in Canada an entitlement? Of course, we're told that the term refers to a business owner's ' feeling or belief' that they ' deserve to be given something such as a 'special privilege’ when it comes to understanding their choices in cash flow financing for business. Let's dig in.

 

Receivables finance unlocks the potential of a company's sales /accounts receivables by turning them into immediate cash flow, thus providing your company with the liquidity needed to expand and manage day-to-day operations effectively. This form of financing aids companies in maintaining steady cash inflows without the typical delays associated with customer payments on unpaid invoices. Now, you can meet short-term financial obligations and invest in growing your business.

 

THERE ARE ONLY 2  A/R FINANCING OPTIONS IN CANADA - WHICH ONE IS FOR YOUR COMPANY?

 

So when clients come to us looking for receivable finance options, they really have one of two choices: The Canadian chartered bank solution or the use of an asset-based non-bank commercial finance firm that provides accounts receivable financing services in a manner that the banks can't and don't. 

 

But which one is for your firm? If you, of course, can access bank financing, it’s about 2 things - low cost, tempered with ability, or inability! to qualify for all the capital you need to operate and grow your business.

Both solutions provide effective financing of the balance sheet regarding A/R.

 

BENEFIT VERSUS COSTS IN SHORT TERM  NON-BANK RECEIVABLE FINANCING

 

Receivable finance via an invoice factoring/discount solution gives you unlimited access to cash flow financing but has the business owner rationalizing costs and different procedures.

 

ASSIGNING YOUR RECEIVABLES OR SELLING YOUR RECEIVABLES - THE PAPERWORK DIFFERENCE 

 

 

 

The essence of the whole debate revolves really around how the two different methods are documented. In the case of the bank, it takes a general security agreement on your A/R and an assignment of all your present (and future) receivables. You then borrow up to 75% of your outstanding AR that is under 90 days old. The bank's logic is that if your accounts are older than 90 days, that's your problem, not theirs!  By the way, we agree that your ability to manage your credit granting to clients is one critical factor in business success. It's the cash flow!

 

THE COST OF RECEIVABLE FINANCE FACTORING SOLUTIONS

 

A/R Invoice financing works differently. Under that mechanism, in our ' not a bank ' solution, you have paperwork that allows the finance firm to ' buy' your receivables, typically at a 98 - 98.5% discount, on an ongoing basis. That basically closes the transaction. One way to look at it is that the finance firm takes a commission for allowing you to generate instant, same-day cash flow.

 

SAME DAY CASH FLOW -  YES!

 

Same-day Service? What do we mean by that? Simply that when you are financing cash flow needs via receivable finance you can access working capital/cash flow from the factoring company at the same time you generate sales. You have turned your company into a cash flow machine. Congratulations on that!

 

CHOICES FOR BUSINESS OWNERS

 

Naturally, you don't have to finance every sale you make, the prudent business owner and financial manager access cash as they need it as they sell products and services and grow their company.

 

One more tip. We strongly recommend 7 Park Avenue Financial CONFIDENTIAL A/R FINANCING, allowing the business owner to bill and collect and finance all their accounts without knowing other parties such as suppliers, clients, etc. It's simply the bank alternative to long-term finance solutions.
