FINANCING  GROWTH STRATEGIES

 

 

A business finance strategy doesn’t necessarily have to be a long list of technicalities when financing an SME (small to medium enterprise) in Canada.

 

Designing growth strategies can be a simple plan or process around getting the financing you need. The best growth strategy involves standing out and offering a unique experience to set your company apart from others in the industry. Let’s dig in.

 

 

BUSINESS FUNDING FOR SUCCESS

 

 

Effective financial strategies are crucial for business growth, enabling companies to navigate economic challenges and seize opportunities.

 

For entrepreneurs and business leaders, having a comprehensive roadmap is essential for achieving rapid growth and long-term sustainability. Understanding the right financial strategies can significantly impact a business’s ability to scale, innovate, and achieve long-term success. This article explores the essential financial strategies that can drive business growth, providing actionable insights for business owners and financial managers.

 

 

 

While a business plan and formal cash flow forecast aren’t critical to planning finance for your business, they will go a long way toward understanding your needs, particularly the cash flow estimates, which will dictate how much financing is required and when.

 

 

HOW DOES A BUSINESS MANAGE SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

 

 

We have seen that owners and managers must ensure they can exert control of business growth challenges.

 

Understanding the company’s objectives and ensuring financing is in place to sustain that growth is key to business success.

 

Having a business plan and understanding the turnover of assets in key categories such as accounts receivable and inventory is key. By evaluating financing options and maintaining operational efficiencies, ensure your company has the right mix of debt and equity to maintain financial health.

 

 

 

WHAT ARE SOURCES OF CANADIAN FINANCING FOR STRATEGIC FINANCIAL PLANNING

 

 

Remember that Canadian business financing comes from various sources, including Canada’s chartered banks, commercial credit unions, insurance companies, and independent commercial finance companies—Canadian and U.S. subsidiaries.

 

Identifying and managing financial resources from these sources is crucial to align with business objectives and ensure long-term growth.

 

 

DON'T FORGET THESE OTHER SOURCES OF FINANCING THAT ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED

 

Remember to consider some financing sources often overlooked by business owners or financial managers when planning financing.

 

These include suppliers and even the government, primarily through the BIL/CSBF program, commonly known as the SBL loan.

 

SR&ED CLAIMS ARE FINANCEABLE

 

 

Remember that if your firm has a research component, you can file SR&ED claims and, more importantly, finance that sred claim as soon as you have filed, recovering valuable cash flow for ongoing growth and development of your products or services based on your industry market research.

 

 

WHY IS ASSET TURNOVER IMPORTANT

 

 

Also, we are constantly discussing asset turnover and sales with clients regarding short-term corporate finance.

 

Why? Better asset utilization will improve financial performance by increasing cost efficiency and achieving rapid growth. Those profits, kept in the business, are… you guessed it… a source of financing!

 

 

 

THE BUSINESS CAPITAL STRUCTURE

 

When considering your finance needs, it's essential to ' bucket' those needs into either debt or equity—two very different kettles of fish! How you arrange your financing via debt or equity dramatically affects the returns and risk to owners and other stakeholders, i.e., lenders.

 

Top finance experts continually tell us that proper debt use in your overall capital structure is a great way to fund your operations and provide better returns to owners. At the other end of the spectrum, too much debt brings risk and potential bankruptcy when cash flow cannot repay those arrangements.

 

 

MONETIZING KEY ASSETS FOR CASH FLOW MANAGEMENT

 

 

We're huge fans of asset monetization as an alternative to debt. A growing business will always have receivables, inventories, contracts, etc. Those can be financed via the bank or a non-bank lender, providing ongoing cash flow without taking on long-term debt with fixed repayments.

 

 

SOURCES OF BUSINESS FINANCING

 

 

Remember also that the stage your business is in will, in many ways, dictate to you what type of financing is achievable and through whom. Maintaining a healthy cash flow is crucial for effective financial management during expansion. That financing is going to come from:

 

 

A/R Financing

Inventory Loans

Access to Canadian bank credit

Non bank asset based lines of credit

SR&ED Tax credit financing

Equipment / fixed asset financing

Cash flow loans

Royalty finance solutions

Purchase Order Financing

Short Term Working Capital Loans/ Merchant Advance

Securitization

 

 

A business finance strategy doesn’t necessarily have to be a long list of technicalities when financing an SME (small to medium enterprise) in Canada. Designing growth strategies can be a simple plan or process around getting the financing you need. Let’s dig in.

 

While a business plan and formal cash flow forecast aren’t critical to planning finance for your business, they will help you understand your needs, particularly the cash flow estimates, which will dictate how much financing is required and when.
