Restart Canadian Business Finance Success With An Asset Based Line OF Credit ! Turbo charge cash flow Via ABL Revolving Lines






Don’t Take Chances By Not Investigating ABL Credit Lines




Information on the Canadian asset based line of credit and the ABL revolving finance facility .How these business lines leverage your working capital and cash flow to the maximum





The ‘times they are a changing; Bob Dylan we're thinking probably wasn’t considering an asset based line of credit finance solution when he wrote his famous song .

Somehow though those words signify a ' restart ' and that’s what Canadian business owners get when they consider asset based finance via revolving credit facilities as a solution for cash flow and working capital needs .

So how does something that seemingly seems the same actually benefit your company so significantly? It's partly related to the external environment out there: traditional forms of business financing in Canada are challenging to say the least, venture capital seems somewhat non existent, and private equity deals take forever to complete if you can find a suitable partner.

Enter the asset based line of credit finance solution! ABL is the acronym for this these revolving lines of credit. They are multi tasking to say the least. Hers some of the things that ABL lines can do : pay out secured existing creditors who have term loans or business lines of credit in place with your firm, eliminate CRA arrears, ( if any ) on the initial advance, and , quite importantly, help you get caught up with valued supplier and vendor related payables.

Oh, and by the way, if you had limited or perhaps no inventory financing in place before as a part of your business line of credit... well, you do now!

The Canadian asset based line of credit marketplace is significantly different from that of the U.S. First of all, we're a smaller country business wise, no surprise there. So there are fewer true ABL type lenders to meet your overall needs. We also logically think that the limited number of players in this market might be one of the reasons you simply have never heard of this solution?!

We keep talking about differences when we compare the asset based loan facility to traditional commercial banking facilities available from our chartered banking system here in Canada. Those differences are quite frankly what make these revolving lines of credit so great.

First of all there is a lot of emphasis on collateral and assets, and less or extremely limited emphasis on outside collateral, personal guarantees, and ratios and covenants.

Additionally, it’s apparently not a perfect world out there, and your firm may be experiencing fluctuations in sales, profits, and balance sheet strength. The reality is that ABL finance is still the solution for your firm if you are in any of the above scenarios.

ABL finance is specialized lending. Firms that offer this service tend to be seasoned companies with significant experience in loaning against your assets. That’s of course not to say the banks are not, but it’s a case of almost micro managing your assets with you, which gives you more borrowing power. These capabilities translate into more working capital and cash flow for your firm, as you benefit from higher advance rates on receivables, inventory margining that actually finally makes sense, and access to unlimited business credit as long as your business is growing .

Investigate ABL. Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can help you determine whether your firm is due for a ' restart ' in Canadian business financing.

Why Canadian ABL Asset Based Line Of Credit Clients Win ! Commercial Revolving Non Bank Facilities Work




What’s Different About Asset Based Lending Line Of Credit Capital ?


Information on the commercial revolving capital facility known as the ABL asset based line of credit . What are the advantages and differences of this facility to a bank business line of credit .


If you speak to Vince Lombardi or Charlie Sheen winning is apparently everything. We're not sure that applies in business all the time, but we think we can prove to Canadian business owners and financial managers that an ABL asset based line of credit is as close to the perfect ' winning ' commercial revolving credit facility that you can obtain. Here's why.

An ABL firm is a business to business lender - yes we know that Canadian chartered banks are also that... but they are operating under a totally different set of rules. That is why small, medium and even the largest firms in Canada utilized asset based lines of credit for working capital and cash flow financing.

The essence of an ABL is the financing, to the maximum amount possible, of your receivables and inventory. Medium and larger firms can actually include a healthy component of fixed assets and real estate into that mix.

The extra financing capability that your firm receives from an asset based line of revolving credit (versus the traditional bank facility) gives you choices. What are those choices? Mostly good things - expanding your business... acquiring a competitor or peer, working thru a turnaround scenario. or simply restructuring to get your firm where it needs to be.

But can't we get the same sort of opportunity via a Chartered bank in Canada? ask clients. In fact we agree that commercial credit and lending in Canada via our chartered banks is in fact on the rise, all recent stats back up that statement. However, 2 simple issues come to mind when we talk over these financing challenges with clients - Would you in fact be approved for a facility via a traditional commercial revolving line of credit... and, as germane, would your company get all the financing it needs.

The hard core reality is that many firms we meet actually find themselves out of favor at the bank, they are either ' capped ' to a pre set limit , or find themselves in the very ' unspecial ' feeling that comes from finding yourself in Special Loans . (Trust us on that, special is taken out of context in this financial term in Canada!)

We do agree with clients that in many cases, when all things are equal, bank facilities might seem cheaper from a short term commercial line of credit.

Actually, in numerous instances an ABL asset based line of credit can actually be cheaper than the bank, roughly the same in pricing, or in a lot of instances more expensive financing... but... and its a big but... you have to weigh the fact that ABL delivers more borrowing power allowing you to enjoy discounts with suppliers and to purchase more effectively.

Any commercial or revolving line of credit that allows you not to have to give up ownership percentage is in fact always cheaper than the reality of looking to equity financing, a partner, merger, etc.

In ABL financing your higher borrowing capability comes with only two requirements essentially, you have to have the assets to borrow against, and you must have reasonable financing and reporting controls to validate the significant amounts you are now borrowing.

If you want to explore ABL asset based lines of credit as a solid alternative to funding your company, either temporarily, or permanently speak to a credible, trusted and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who will work with you on an ABL relationship that makes sense.
