Growth financing in Canada. As if keeping your business alive as a Canadian business owner or financial manager wasn’t enough, what about all the growth financing challenges you have to face?!

There probably are thousands of businesses in Canada who are either content to stay roughly the same size, or , at the opposite end of the spectrum, want their business financial assets to grow, but just don’t know how , or where to turn to . Businesses in the SME sector in Canada are sometimes quite happy to put those earned profits regularly back in the bank accounts of their owners. That’s ok, for course, just not complementary to a growth strategy.

As we said though, many firms wish to capitalize on asset finance solutions in Canada to add assets to their business open a new location, buy a competitor, even in some cases franchise their business model.

So if it is true that financing is the key ‘ lubricant ‘ in that growth financing depends on, and if the business owner’s dont have ability to fund their firm personally, what are in fact the options? In reality there are more than you think!

Naturally early start up firms in Canada though do in fact rely on initial owner equity. But sooner or later you need growth financing of financial assets for key investments in offices space, software, computers, and other infrastructure and business model assets.

We never fail, or at lease try not to fail at pointing out to business owners/mangers that internal cash flow generated form asset turnover is a key to growth finance. It’s just that they are never enough! And if you’re not big enough to go public yet, or engineer a reverse takeover then financing financial assets is in fact going to be a key driver in your revenue and profit growth.

Here though we are at a key point in the juncture of your firm. Because here’s where mistakes are made, we’re referring to the sometimes inability of the business owner/manger to match the right assets with the right type of financing. So a very key point is in fact that you should be financing receivables, inventories, and tax credits with short term financing vehicles in Canada.

Those solutions include bank lines of credit, receivable finance, inventory finance; asset based non bank lines of credit, and purchase order/supply chain financing.

Longer term assets should be financed with term loans, equipment leases , secured or unsecured cash flow loans ( unsecured is best!) , etc .

If you wish to match the right assets you have, or need, with the right type of financing seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing manager today.

P.S. That is of course only if you want to grow your business!
