7 KEY REASONS TO HIRE A BUSINESS FINANCING ADVISOR
7 Key Reasons to Hire a Business Financing Advisor
Financing via business advisor assistance might well be viewed as your version of utilizing an ' undercover agent ' for your funding needs.
It's all about getting the right finance solution after exploring all those potentially previously hidden solutions. Let's explore some key reasons to consider hiring a financing advisor as an independent third party for your company’s financial needs. Let's dig in.
WHAT IS A BUSINESS FINANCING ADVISOR?
A business funding advisor is a financial professional helping business owners and entrepreneurs secure company funding.
They work closely with clients to understand their financial needs and goals, leveraging their expertise to identify the best financing options.
These advisors collaborate with various financial institutions, including banks, credit unions, and alternative lenders, to secure the necessary funding.
Cost vs. Value – Understanding the True Benefit
The bottom line is that if a small business advisor can help your firm find a financing solution that is in your best interest and that helps your firm generate profits and survive in today’s competitive environment, that should be a major consideration.
In some cases, your business might be a start-up with unique challenges attached to it—that solid idea you have needs to be translated into business capital. Individuals who own their own businesses face unique financial planning challenges, such as tax considerations and retirement savings options available to self-employed individuals.
While many business owners have taken to the internet ‘ big time ‘ to try and source their own financial solutions, it can be confusing to know who you are dealing with, what they are offering, etc. A solid, trusted commercial financing specialist can help you make tough decisions easier over the long term and ensure the right financing can be achieved.
The real issue here is that many companies have a ‘ unique ‘ need that requires some level of customization to their particular challenges.
Avoiding Costly Mistakes in DIY Financing
-
The danger of a ‘do it yourself’ type investigation should seem obvious. Still, the risk of engaging the wrong party or getting simply wrong facts and information can only lead to potentially dangerous problems. Bottom line: It’s tough to unwind a financing that was not meant to be and doesn’t work for your firm.
Customized Solutions for Unique Business Challenges
-
One key critical benefit of an actual business finance specialist is the ability to meet or discuss with your firm firsthand any unique challenges your firm might be facing. While many firms in any particular industry have common traits, there is always some uniqueness in how you do business. Uncovering solutions to those challenges is the true value of a corporate financing advisor.
Industry Expertise and Strategic Insight
-
A truly experienced funding advisor should be able to demonstrate financing knowledge and success in numerous industries and provide a unique perspective to your firm’s particular situation.
Unbiased Advice on the Best Financing Solutions
-
Because good commercial credit advisors are independent, they can remove ‘ bias ‘ from any proposed financial solution. The right specialist will also be up to date with what is happening in traditional and alternative finance solutions.
Proven Track Record and Credibility
-
Credentials and past success are always necessary, so demonstrating success with previous employers and clients is key to your firm benefitting from any solution.
Risk Management & Long-term Health
-
Any business financing comes with benefits and potential risks. Understanding those and ensuring the right balance is key to the business owner/owners’ comfort level.

CASH FLOW MANAGEMENT
Cash flow management is a critical component of any successful business. A financing advisor can help business owners manage their cash flow effectively by guiding on managing accounts receivable and payable, optimizing inventory levels, reducing costs, and improving profitability.
A financing advisor may also help business owners identify areas where they can improve their cash flow and provide strategies for managing cash flow during times of uncertainty. By implementing these strategies, business owners can ensure they have the necessary funds to operate smoothly and invest

Government Loans
When it comes to small business loans, probably one of the best solutions available in the Canada Small Business Financing Program. Let the 7 Park Avenue Financial team walk you through the process and application requirements, including the business plans we prepare for our clients when needed.
A business plan is a key requirement of the government loan program. The program's interest rate varies, is attractive, and has many other benefits, including limited personal guarantee, early repayment flexibility, etc. Success in the SBL loan program might well require borrowers not to drain personal savings in their retirement savings account plan accounts.
Government-guaranteed loans are also a solid alternative to the significant time and effort spent researching government grants and other government programs unrelated to loan financing.
In some cases, many companies' succession planning will present business acquisition opportunities that require specific financing expertise. According to the experts, many small and medium-sized businesses will be ' up for sale ' in the coming times based on a massive transfer of wealth.
CONCLUSION
Want business financial decisions to become a lot easier for small businesses? Whether you are a small business owner or a medium-sized established firm, financing opportunities are always required on the business horizon.
