No Brainer Financing - Equipment Funding and Leasing Services In Canada

The business ' no - brainer '. A sometimes overused term that means of course an easy solution that’s ' obvious'. That’s more or less how we feel about equipment funding and leasing services in Canada. Let's explain why.



Given the amount of businesses that use lease financing in Canada (approximately 80%) it’s clearly a fact that whether your firm is a start up or one of Canada's major corporations that leasing services in Canada solves asset financing challenges and problems. Rarely does one form of Canadian business financing address the ' numbers' and ' budget' challenge so effectively.



We supposed that if you consider that Canada's FP 100 largest firms consider leasing a ' sophisticated ' method of financing assets that it’s a little difficult to imagine a small start up business using the same financing vehicle, but the reality is, its one size fits all!



Part of the ‘ no brainer' aspect of equipment funding is simply the fact that every type of asset can be financing, including by the way intangible assets such as software and service type contracts.



Business owners sometimes do however actually miss the key basics of lease finance - it’s the lessor who owns the equipment, and you are paying, in effect ' rent ' to use the asset. Naturally at the end of the term of your transaction, depending on how you have structured the transaction you can either own the asset, return it, or invoke other types of flexibility - i.e. temporarily extend, etc.



It's the lease contract, either through a ' master lease ' or simply a one time transaction document that specifies your rights and obligations. Lessors in Canada register their lease under Canada's Personal Property Security Act which allows lenders, creditors, owners, etc to ensure the collateral is properly collateralized and secured.



In fact, here’s a tip. If you want to see who your competitors finance with have your lawyer run a PPSA search and you'll get a list of all secured financings on that competitor. It's a commonly used, dare we say ' trick' by numerous parties for various purposes, and there is nothing wrong with it.



A good way to assess your whole view and use on leasing is to think of it in a couple categories; they include: benefits, risk, documentation, and credit approval.



A tremendous amount of confusion exists out in the Canadian marketplace around the difference between leases and a loan. We can assure you there are differences, and knowing those differences, and how they affect your balance sheet, income statement, taxes, and rights can save you thousands of dollars .



Your business will make the final call, but if billions of dollars are financed under lease equipment funding strategies in Canada every year someone is clearly on to something, and that’s why its prudent to investigate the ' no brainer ' aspects of leasing in Canada . Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor on getting the best rates, terms and structures for your company or business.

Why pay a Consultant? - Consultants can bring you into contact with a Funding Source but how do you tell whether a consultant will be successful beforehand? Professional Consultants ALWAYS ask for some kind of retainer so that they can feel they're not being used by a 'chancer'. However, when raising funding, a real consultant will offer to REFUND THAT RETAINER out of the % BROKERAGE he charges, payable once he finds your Funding Source, and payable from initial disbursements. Retainers only cover part of the costs that a consultant has to pay while working on behalf of the Client. Their real wages come from the agreed upon Brokerage, received when they are successful on the Client's behalf.

Re: Introducing a US franshise to a Canadian market - [quote="BuzzAroundBooks":1l00q6iy]Hi Everyone, If there was a franchise you liked and located exclusively in the U.S., how likely would you be able to introduce the first one in a new market like Canada? How open are franchisors to this sort of idea? Has anyone heard how this was done in the past?[/quote:1l00q6iy] US franchisors are really open to "export" their concept to Canada for 2 main reasons: the proximity and the culture: Canada is just a few hours away from any US city and both cultures are very similar. I am actually reading stats on this subject as I write and about 80% of american franchises tat go international go to Canada first.
