Suffering From Bank Lines of Credit Amnesia ? Canadian ABL Asset Finance Business Lines Facilities Could Be Your Cure !

It's probably just us, but we recently pondered the fact that many clients we meet are suffering from what might be called ' selective amnesia '... a ' loss of inter-related memories ' . It appears to be in conjunction with forgetting what is was like to have business bank lines of credit. Have they disappeared? Weren't they relatively easy to get? Didn't they always cover off all the working capital you needed?



Today ours is not to debate, defend or promote Canadian chartered bank lines (by the way, we love Canadian banks) but instead to ensure Canadian business owners and financial managers understand a very solid...we repeat ' solid ' alternative, namely ABL asset finance lines of credit.



Asset finance lenders in Canada provide lines of credit to Canadian businesses of all size. In truth we would say that the more assets your firm has the larger the facility is available and somewhat easier to get, but companies of all size, including start ups by the way, are immediately eligible.



In many cases based line of credit']);"> asset based line of credit facilities either replace bank financing or are a first source of working capital lines for Canadian business. We can't over emphasize the fact that even companies in bankruptcy, receivership, or who are in the unfortunate position of being in ' special loans ( we know ... it's not that special!)are always eligible for ABL asset finance facilities.



We also point out to clients that just because ABL facilities consider firms that are in some way troubled or challenged that they should never always be viewed as the ' lender of last resort' financing . How can we prove this to you? Simply by advising you that many of the largest corporations in Canada are financed by this bank alternative, and companies who utilize based lines of credit']);"> asset based lines of credit because they have been punished elsewhere for ' hyper growth ' often find themselves solicited by banks again for their commercial credit lines. Go figure!



So yes, your firm does qualify for working capital ABL asset finance lines of credit if you have financial losses, shareholder equity issues, CRA arrears, etc, it's just that the facility will be structured a bit differently in terms of rate and structure.



Clients often ask about pricing on asset based credit lines... its a difficult question for us to answer because depending on the type and size and quality of your a/r and inventory and your overall general financial health our ABL financing alternative is priced better than, equal to, or substantially higher .It would seem we have covered off all the bases!



Bottom line on ABL financing... it works, it's an accepted alternative and if you find yourself suffering form that ' selective amnesia ' on the ' old days ' of business banking then barrel in to the new kid on the block. Speak to a trusted, credible, and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can assist you in identifying the benefits of this great working capital facility.

You can see my Bank statement......... - Hi there, Today we are bombarded with 'Business Opportunities' by the multitude. I believe it is possible to earn a lot through the internet, but it is hard work. Nobody gets it very easy on a long term basis. [b][b]How much notice do people take[/b], [/b]when the Bank Statements are shown as means of 'how credible' their business idea is? Are they always totally true? They look authentic. The whole industry is growing rapidly. What is your experience? Is there any regulation in presenting the 'Bank Statement' or other statements from 'Click Bank' etc ?

Business Failures That Boggle The Mind - Did anyone read, a few days ago, about the "popular New York eatery" Serendipity 3, that had to close its doors because it had failed its [i:ur1qdtij]second [/i:ur1qdtij]health inspection in one month. This eatery sells.... or should I say sold... $1,000 hot fudge sundaes and $25,000 sundaes... obviously not on a general basis but there had to have been some clients who paid for them... Lines apparently ran around the block every day... And they weren't making enough money to ensure that their kitchen was kept clean of cockroaches and mice? And after they failed their [i:ur1qdtij]first [/i:ur1qdtij]inspection, they weren't able to pull their socks up in order to pass the second inspection? Talk about incompetence...
BDC - [quote="IWDCanada":jib6tqt9]I think if you try to do business in the Maritimes the Business Development Bank of Canada might be able to provide grants.[/quote:jib6tqt9] On that note, does anybody have any experiences with the Business Development Bank of Canada that they would like to share? I have been considering approaching them for a business loan.
$1,000,000 - Hi Evan, Are you talking about US Dollars? If so, that would be approx £500,000 in the UK. The Canadian Dollars differs also from the Australian Dollar. In any case, one needs to solve problems to help people to get money. The more solutions are given to people's needs to solve their problems, the closer one gets. Finally, are we talking about 'Income' or can we talk about 'Asset'? Kindest Regards Beat "Unlock People's Potentials!"

From what i've been told they are really great when it comes to small business. Their loans have a little higher interest but their payment terms are a lot easier to swallow. I can give you a contact if you need.
