Accounts Receivable Financing Options in Canada

 

Receivables lending in Canada hardly suggests commentary by ‘The Bard ' - aka Will Shakespeare.

 

But when we discovered that some classic commentary of his might well relate to Canadian business financing alternatives, we couldn't resist.

 

Could Shakespeare have been talking about Receivable factoring companies in Canada? We're not sure, so let's dig in!

 

HOW IMPORTANT IS CONFIDENTIALITY IN YOUR BUSINESS FINANCING?

 

"Mum's the word" - Henry VI, Part II-   Alternative financing solutions such as CONFIDENTIAL RECEIVABLE FINANCE are still relatively unknown to thousands of firms that require working capital and cash flow financing.

 

FINANCING THE BALANCE SHEET TO ADDRESS CASH FLOW CHALLENGES

 

Canada's business owners and financial managers recognize that financing current assets, such as accounts receivable and inventory, is critical to overall success.

 

But getting it right is always a challenge. While a solid cash flow plan or forecast is all about ensuring you have contingencies in place, Murphy’s law often sets in and creates ‘ bulges’ in your cash flow needs.

 

Payment terms for clients can sometimes stretch to 90 days in these current times - Pandemics included! That’s when factoring companies can provide you with a solution that works.

 

By leveraging the company's accounts receivable, these outstanding invoices are recorded as assets on the company's balance sheet, contributing to liquidity and impacting financial agreements with lenders.

 

WHAT ARE  SOME KEY WARNING SIGNS IN BUSINESS PERFORMANCE?

 

 "A wild goose chase" - Romeo and Juliet   - Business owners/ managers are often too close to the action and miss some warning signs in their business. Some of those include the constant need to juggle payments to lenders or suppliers, declining profit margins, mounting CRA obligations, etc.

 

 

 

CAN YOUR BUSINESS ACHIEVE ALL THE  BANK FINANCING IT REQUIRES?

 

We’re sure that most Canadian business thinks of our Canadian chartered banks as the solution to the help they require business funding.

 

If your firm doesn’t meet all the requirements needed to qualify for bank financing, alternative financing, such as asset-based lending, is the key to its survival and growth.

 

Working with a reputable company can streamline the financing process and enhance business cash flow. Note that an asset monetization strategy such as receivables lending from factor companies does not bring debt onto your balance sheet.

 

Your accounts become, in effect, self-liquidating as they turn into constant cash via finance companies and their factoring company solutions.

 

THE BUSINESS LINE OF CREDIT ALTERNATIVE - HOW DOES ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FINANCING WORK?

 

The A/R financing solutions are simply commercial finance solutions to a revolving line of credit. They allow you to monetize sales based on the invoice value to ensure maximum cash flow availability as you need it.

 

Receivable financing accounts provide a financial arrangement where a company secures capital based on its outstanding accounts receivable. Of course, you only pay for what you use, which is key in understanding the costs of this finance method in Canada.

 

 

ADDRESSING THE COST OF A/R FINANCE

 

The way to look at the cost of Accounts receivable AR financing in Canada, including receivable financing rates, is simply a cost of doing business offset by your ability to grow sales and profits while not being ‘ the bank’ to your clients, who we are pretty sure have similar problems!

 

“Too much of a good thing” - As You Like It - A proper receivable finance solution allows you to manage your business's inflows and outflows better.

 

It’s that ‘ timing ‘ issue that is the key to an A/R solution, as you can monetize sales directly into cash flow.  A proper receivable financing solution will also help you if your business is revenue or project-based, allowing you to finance milestones in your work as they are performed.

 

ACHIEVING BUSINESS FINANCING SUCCESS VIA FACTORING SERVICES FOR SMALL BUSINESS

 

”All’s well that ends well.” - All’s Well That Ends Well -  The perfect ending for any business related to financing is the owner/manager’s ability to be proactive in cash flow needs planning through receivable loans.

 

Your ability to take discounts with suppliers and vendors and take on large orders and contracts allows you to have a fresh outlook on your business prospects while receiving immediate cash as you generate revenues from your products and services.

 

 

Two uncommon takes on Accounts Receivable Lending:

 

  1. It can serve as a strategic marketing tool to offer extended payment terms to customers.
  2. It may improve credit scores by reducing reliance on credit cards or personal loans.

  • Risk assessment focuses on customers’ creditworthiness rather than the borrowing company’s financials.

  • Flexibility in financing allows for scaling with business growth and seasonal fluctuations.
