Receivable finance in Canada. It's also known as the business invoice to cash strategy. Who wouldn’t want the real deal on what’s happening in A/R financing in Canada... how it works, who to deal with, what to watch out for, etc..

Maybe it’s just us, but there is a certain discomfort we notice with Canadian business owners and financial managers around their ability to feel 100% comfortable with their overall cash flow financing strategy. And when it comes to receivable finance can the average Canadian business owner or financial manager actually say they understand the benefits, costs, and potential disadvantages of a business invoice to cash strategy? Not really in our opinion.

The time to properly consider such a strategy is when your business is still in under control when it comes to the overall working capital strategy. When you don't feel in control you tend to have a total discomfort around acquiring new assets, making on time payments to suppliers and lessors, or worrying about how you will manage growth.

Cost tends to always be the main discussion point when the conversation gets around to A/R financing with clients. The issue is simply that in many cases the business owner is not comparing on an apples to apples basis.

Why is that then? Simply because the business person, makes his or her total decision, incorrectly on the ' discounting fee ' that is implied in the cost of A/R finance.

Oh and by the way, if you are dealing with the wrong company in Canada you can get blind sided by numerous miscellaneous charges that really add up, they include service fees, an admin fee, a renewal fee, a utilization fee, and, believe it or not, many of these firms require that you have to pay them to leave! Talk about the importance of dealing with the right firm!

When considering A/R finance strategy it is good though to compare it to the alte
atives when it comes to benefits. Unlike a bank facility, which many firms can’t qualify for anyway the business invoice to cash strategy has virtually an unlimited cap. As most business people know banks in Canada have, of course, pre set limits on bank facilities we can comfortably say that you are only constrained by your ability to make sales when you consider A/R financing, which isn’t the worst problem to have. You have, in effect closed the gap when it comes to cash flow flexibility.

Our recommended facility is the confidential invoice financing one, its here you get to bill and collect your own A/R, while at the same time achieving all the other benefits.

Confused about who do deal with, how it works. One way to achieve the real deal on what’s happening in Canadian business financing is to seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor... today.

I’ll share with you that when I first started in business the image of a leader that I brought with me was an authority figure who has the power to hurt those that are following them. This was because I was so used to being around authority figures who were coming from a place of leading through fear (I came out of the very toxic public school system). I knew I didn’t want that in my business.

Many of my clients share that one of their biggest marketing challenges is actually connecting with enough prospects. They are doing all of this great work in their businesses, but not very many people know about their work; or at least not enough for the flow of business to be moving smoothly and easily. Stop. Start. Stop. Start. Sound familiar? There isn't one perfect way to consistently connect with prospects, but there are many ways that, when used collaboratively, will build you a nice stream of people who are interested in what you do.
