GROWTH FINANCING SOLUTIONS - FINANCING CASH FLOW NEEDS
INTRODUCTION
What business owner or financial manager wouldn't appreciate a nifty little tool kit to address the fix for growth finance and the cash flow conundrum?
Financing, cash flow, and working capital solutions can make or break your firm's growth challenges. Let's look at what's inside our toolkit. I guess you can say it's our version of DIY for business financing!
GROWTH BY THE TEXTBOOK?
Growing (hopefully profitable!) Canadian firms are always looking at how to find that extra dollar to produce and invest in working capital. There are numerous 'arithmetical' ways to calculate how fast your business can grow - they are very technical, but the calculation numbers that will tell you exactly how fast you could grow given your current performance. The tech term for that is 'Sustainable Growth Rate'.
That's all fine and dandy; our clients tend to want to jump right in and address real-world ways in which they can accelerate growth, or in some cases slow it down - heaven forbid!
ACCELERATING CASH FLOW .. INTERNALLY!
One way to address the issue of growth finance is to speed up the cash flow that is already at the core of your business. How do you do that? It's simpler than you think - you speed up collections and improve inventory turns if your business has an inventory component.
What you have done is speeded up the cash flow cycle, simply by working smarter and harder - and you didn't even have to borrow!
When you speed up that basic business cycle, you're generating more cash that you can invest in your business... and growth. In effect, you have accepted and won the battle of being a better asset manager.
COST REDUCTION CAN ACCELERATE CASH FLOW AND WORKING CAPITAL
There are two other ways to address your growth challenges. One is to reduce costs - so in fact, you have already accelerated cash flow by our better A/R and inventory management, and if you now reduce costs, you have created a very strong, let's call it... double whammy!
Good business managers will always know how to reduce and watch costs - they can control fixed-asset investments and negotiate with suppliers for better pricing. And trust us, those changes in your better gross margin can more dramatically allow you to grow - more than you think if you spend some time and do the calculations.
Another way to address growth is to look at increasing prices. Don't forget if you can do that, you are at the same time improving margins.
Subscription-Based Growth Finance: Recurring Revenue for Expansion
Some businesses are exploring subscription-based financing models where customers pay a regular fee in exchange for access to exclusive products, services, or content. This steady influx of recurring revenue can be used to fund expansion initiatives, as businesses can predict their income with greater certainty. This approach can be particularly beneficial for businesses in the software, media, or subscription box industries.
Strategic Growth Partnerships: Collaborative Financing for Expansion
Rather than seeking financing from traditional sources, businesses can consider forming strategic partnerships with complementary companies. These partnerships can involve joint ventures, revenue-sharing agreements, or resource-sharing arrangements. By leveraging the strengths of both entities, businesses can access the necessary resources and expertise for growth without taking on additional debt or giving up equity. Strategic partnerships can be a creative and mutually beneficial way to finance expansion.
