Merchant funding via a business cash advance is predominantly becoming the main solution when a smaller or retail type firm considers a new or alternative financing strategy. As customer payments slow down ( many firms seem to be waiting 60 to sometimes 120 days for the customer payments ) the challenge of running your business from a cash flow perspective increases . The irony is of course that many customers still post 30 day terms on their invoices and purchase order acknowledgements from their client base. We should not fail to mention of course that there is one very obvious 'non – financial 'solution for your company, and it does not even involve additional financing effort. It is simply to enforce collections more strongly and reduce what is known as your 'day's sales outstanding 'to a more manageable level. Any major dent you can put in your 'D S O 'will improve working capital and cash flow. There is of course the other non financial alternative, which is the other side of the equation, and that's to slow payables, which also improves cash flow – but you don't want to do that at the expense of your suppliers which you value. So we have discussed why you want to consider a business cash advance loan and to some extent what your non – financial solutions are. But let's just make sure we understand what we are talking about. When you are working under a bank facility your receivables and other assets are collateralized or pledged as a security for an overdraft. That's the best simple way we have of explaining to clients what a business cash loan is not! What it is, though, is the sale of your future sales or credit sales , thereby increasing your working capital and cash flow.
More cash flow and more immediate cash flow is the most obvious solution to merchant funding. We spoke of the price you have to pay in merchant cash advance loans. If you negotiate the wrong type of facility you might find yourself in the same situation that many of our clients have found when they come to us with financing woes, which is simply that they feel that in spite of the significant cash improvement they in fact feel that their merchant funding firm partner is running their business. Business cash loan facilities in Canada are available with firms who have very high professional standards, are well funded to meet all your financing needs, and in fact tailor their financing service to your business, once they understand the uniqueness of your challenges. So what's our bottom line in our cash flow information interchange – it simply: * Determine if you can achieve self financing status via the more prompt collection of receivables or increased sales
* If financing is in fact needed consider business cash advance funding as a working capital strategy And , most important, work with a credible , trusted and experience advisor who will model a working capital and cash flow solution that reaps benefits and cash on terms you can live with on a day to day basis .
