Bank lending needs often come at a time when Canadian business owners and financial
managers are not necessarily 100% in control of all the forces that might affect their
business - external and otherwise. A business finance alternative might also be a solution
for almost any business in any industry. Let's dig in.
hose same financing needs! as we've ex"lained in the "ast come in different timelines!
short! intermediate and long term. #ne of those external sources that many business
owners forget is their vendors and su""liers.
$ere collateral is not re%uired! trade credit is &'C$ easier to obtain and in many cases
discounts for "rom"t "ayment may be offered and ta(en. )aturally stretching "ayables is
a dangerous game! as you need su""liers and vendors on board when times are
challenging - so while a*" mgmt is a (ey "art of ' cash flow ' it's one that must be handled
"ro"erly.
+an( lending comes in various forms - not all of which are understood by
owners*financial mgrs in the ,&- commercial area. .hile it's true that Canadian ban(s
do in fact offer ' unsecured' loans these are totally focused on... you guessed it... "rovable
cash flow.
y"ically these loans might be at a higher rate are and more long term in nature. he
bottom line - ensure you balance sheet! "rofits! and historical and "ro/ected cash flows

+an( lines of credit "rovide revolving facilities u" to a maximum amount based on
current asset holdings such as receivables and inventory. y"ically these ban( credit lines
come with restrictions (nown as covenants and ratio maintenance - it's not /ust about the
assets.
