We can't speak for everyone but isn't it safe to say that either in our personal lives, or in business we're often reluctant to enter into a new situations simply because of the feeling of uncomfortableness. That's one of the reasons why Canadian business owners and financial managers might be reluctant to step outside their zone of comfort when it comes to looking at financing via ABL finance; an asset based lending arrangement for their new business line of credit facility. We would maintain it's hardly a risk, as an asset based line of credit revolving facility is becoming more mainstream and popular everyday. In some cases it simply not knowing what an initial course of action might be. That's actually quite simple - investigate what ABL, how it works, what are the benefits, what are the costs, and finally get a sense of how and why it differs from bank facilities. It's clear to most business owners that the Canadian economy is clearly improving over the challenges of recent years. That's why it's critical that firms such as yours have the ability to secure sufficient funding to support their growth and survival. It has been that access to funding that has been one of the greatest hurdles It's clear to many Canadian firms that capital is available, it's simply a case
of being able to access funding that in many cases Canadian chartered banks are reluctant to make available. Canadian bank facilities via commercial business lines are credit are clearly the low cost solution and can offer numerous other services such as cash management, forex, etc. But what if traditional bank lines of credit are not available to your firm? Enter asset based lending! This is where that feeling of 'uncomfortable 'might be setting in. Why? Simply because it's different, in that it focuses solely on your asset and your company's ability to turn those assets into cash flow. Why is ABL finance a better fit in many cases. We'll offer up simply the fact that it supports growth and a number of unique needs your firm might have. Recent studies suggest that asset based lending grew over 25% in Canada over the last year or so. The vast majority of this activity is clearly the refinancing of existing bank lines and turning them into an ABL financing arrangement. In Canada large cap ABL financing is very different from facilities sought by smaller firms. Larger facilities often start in the 5-10 Million dollar ranges and go into the tens and hundreds of millions of dollars. The same type of facility is also available to firms in the SME sector where these working capital faculties start in the 250k+ range. Talk about a broad spectrum. And that broad spectrum translates into a wide variety of rates and deal structures. There is a lack of information quite often to the SME borrower who has heard about ABL finance, wants to know more, and might think his or her facility isn't relevant, if not for size alone. In our opinion the majority of Canadian busines owners and financial managers are ' desperate' for quality information on Canadian business financing alternatives.
