Merchant Account Financing Canada - 2 Critical Things You Need to Know About These Loans For Small Business

Merchant account financing in Canada is fast becoming a mainstream financing strategy for Canadian business owners looking for loans for small business.

However, in talking to clients they are concerned about two key issues around this innovative financing method.

Those two key issues are:

How does it work?

What are the Costs?

We firmly believe that if you understand those two critical points then your firm is in a position to benefit from merchant account advance financing solutions. And those benefits are significant and quite clear. They include your peace of mind as it relates to business financing, since these type of facilities grow with your business and are unlike pre-set bank credit lines, etc .

Also, many business owners confuse merchant account advance loans with traditional term loans, which they are not.

Let us be clear Merchant Account Financing is not a long term loan with fixed payments and interest rates. There are no fixed monthly repayments. In fact the overall optics of your balance sheet actually improves with your new found cash.

Time is money as the Canadian business owner well knows. Merchant advance financing in Canada works quickly and efficiently (When you have chosen the right partner and the right type of facility). Once the initial set up process is completed, usually in a week or two the facility runs itself at your discretion. You in effect have taken complete control of your cash flow. Sales can now be monetized immediately.



Our final key benefit that we should focus on before getting back to our two critical points is simply that this financing tool, if used properly, allows you to generate more sales and increase profits via key turnover of receivables, inventory, etc.



O.K. You now know many of the key benefits of Merchant Account Financing. Is it right for your firm? Critical point #1 how does it work?

This type of financing is simply best described as the short term sale, or ‘discounting ‘of your future credit sales.

Critical Point # 2- What do these types of loans for small business cost? If you obtain financing against those future sales you get cash the same day, buy more inventory with that cash, negotiate a better price with suppliers with that cash, and then repeat the process over and over we can almost guarantee you, depending on your industry and sales turnover this new financing can become a profit mechanism for your firm. That’s certainly clears up a lot of the ‘negative ‘things you have heard about merchant advance loans, its costs, etc.

Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor on the benefits of merchant account financing in Canada, how it works, and how financing costs can be controlled and reduced. That’s true cash flow and working capital financing for Canadian business.

canada resources - I used to have a connection to a franchise consultant in Canada at "Franchise Officer" in Toronto. I wish I could remember his name ( but I can check my files at the office tomorrow). Anyway, he had a lot of connections to banks in Canada. He may know of them and may be able to offer some feedback. If you are looking for a business loan, Canada has similar business loan programs to that of the USA's Small Business Administration (SBA). I think its SLBS in Cananda, and I probably have the list of it's lenders in my office also. Do you think either can be helpful? If so, I can get back to you with this information tomorrow. Let me know!
re: restaurant start-up - I'm not sure about government grants for restaurants, but my recommendation would be to approach a lender that offers loans under the Canadian Small Business Financing Loan program where the government will guarantee 85% of the loan. You can borrow up to $250,000 to finance equipment and renovations under this program. Restaurants are very risky business, however some of the Chartered Banks will look at restaurants if there is enough of an initial equity investment and you have a solid business plan (experienced management team, good concept and strategic location).
grants for restaurants - Well friend I don’t have any idea about government grants for restaurants, but I will recommend that you may try on some banks who offer loans for small business where the government will have some guarantee. Beside that Restaurants business is very risky so some of banks who gave some Financing Loans they will look at on it if there is enough solid business plans.
