5 Reasons To Consider Canada Government loans . How To Use the SBL Federal Loan Program
We're big supporters of the Canada government loans, commonly
called the ' SBL loan ‘. Why? This
federal loan (you’ll soon see it’s not as federal as you think ... it's more local ...) can be used for a variety of solid
business reasons. What are those uses then? Let's explore.
Canada
government loans are the ideal financing solution for a business start up. SBL
financing compliments significantly your own equity contribution to the business. A large amount of outside collateral is in
fact not required for the federal SBL loan. Traditional financing via Canada's
chartered banks and other lenders often make it difficult to achieve any proper
level of start up financing.
Amortizations are available that make sense for your start up. You are
trying to minimize monthly payments and maximize cash flow. There isn't a day
when we don't talk to an entrepreneurial client who doesnt feel their resolve
to start and succeed in business isn’t tested, so the federal small business
loan is a solution to the testing of your resolve!
Our second category or use of this financing is ' Equipment. When you are
looking to purchase assets to grow and maximize your profits government loans
make a tremendous amount of sense.
Your equity contribution, i.e. the
down payment that you would typically associate with a lease financing is low, the
5-7 year term amortizations make sense, and the bottom line it's a classic use
of matching your new assets useful economic life to the term of a loan.
Use # 3 for Canada
government loans. Buying a business. Funding from our proposed financing
solution allows you to purchase an existing business.
We caution clients that the
requirement for purchasing a business using the SBL vehicle requires that the
seller agree to an asset sale, as opposed to a share sale. Almost any industry
can be financed in this manner, as long as there are assets in the business
that you are acquiring.
The good news here is that the emphasis on the financing of your proposed
purchase is focused on the previous success of the business, as well as your
ability and experience to run and grow the business. The SBL loan can also
finance real estate as part of a business purchase - in this case the traditional
limit of financing actually increases to $ 500,000.00.
Potential use # 4 for the Federal small business loan - refinancing! If
you or your firm incorporated or otherwise have purchased assets within the
last 6 months they can be refinanced under our proposed program. This generates
working capital that can be put back in your business. In certain cases an
appraisal might be required on the asset, but that is a very modest expenditure
relative to the benefits of the financing received that come back into your
business cash flow.
Finally, use # 5 for Canada
government loans. It's buying and financing a franchise. Entrepreneurs in Canada
finance thousands of franchises each year under the program, which in many ways
is perfectly suited to the challenges of a franchise.
There you have it, 5 solid uses for the utilization for the federal SBL
Loan. As we noted federal denotes Ottawa and
government, but Canada’s
chartered banks administer and fund the program under federal auspices. Speak
to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing on how you
or your business can utilize this valuable Canadian business financing vehicle.
