OPPORTUNITIES ALWAYS EMERGE IN LENDER FINANCE
As challenging as specialty finance industry issues are, seasoned lenders, know that opportunities emerge at every turn in times of upheaval. Most industry specialists in finance feel that they have been somewhat abandoned by the major insurance companies and Chartered banks that traditionally filled the void in specialty lending. Whether that can be termed a failure on their part of only a hard reality of the capitalization and constraints of those two lending bodies is subject to vigorous discussion.

That type of access to clients can only help you spur growth without recognizing boundaries (like the old days!). As an example, well-respected statistics firms such as Dun and Bradstreet estimate that the specialty finance industry in North America has volumes above 585 Billion dollars.

SPECIALTY LENDER FINANCING MAKES YOUR FIRM MORE COMPETITIVE
Demand for your financing comes from client confidence in your finance services and, of course, interest rates, your 'cost of capital. Someone lending to finance companies will look at your ability to write new business, but, as importantly, service and collect on those loans.
If your firm is a smaller finance company, those rates/cost of capital areas are more important than ever if you are competing with the 'gorillas' in your industry who have the scale and potentially multiple business capital sources.
In some cases, your firm may also be challenged to align new funding with redesigned business processes. Niche players such as your firm can always succeed, of course, by highly specializing in your chosen field of finance.
The specialty finance industry is not unique in that similar to many industries. Experts tell us that the higher quartile of lenders have the majority of the business. Your firm's ability to demonstrate adherence to any level of regulation in your industry, as well as the ability to divulge credit practices, is key to the start of a good relationship with a specialty lender or funding advisor.
FINTECH / INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
These days it's all about ' fintech, 'which can mean many different things, but the essence of that is the technology that delivers your firm's funding and growth and reporting. It should be no secret that a well-performing portfolio and your firm's ability to demonstrate that performance are key to attracting new funding.
At 7 Park Avenue Financial, our focus is on delivering on a financing solution that will maximize your portfolio growth potential, so our focus of discussion is around areas of your portfolio's size and the 'credit box' that goes into those client approval decisions.
In some cases, your firm might have some industry self-regulated or government compliance level, which should be demonstrable. These days it's all about 'FINTECH,' and any technology issues your firm has invested in or intends to invest in. Like any corporate borrower, your finance companies must demonstrate the ability to report appropriately on portfolio statistics such as ageing, bad debt reserves, etc.
Lender to lender funding is also about your firm's ability to capitalize on new markets when new niches or geographical opportunities emerge. New economic cycles have a way of identifying unique new opportunities. The growth of alternative financing products has uncovered millions of dollars of lending possibilities for successful firms with existing portfolios.

KEY INDUSTRY ISSUES IN LENDER LOANS
Almost all firms, probably including yours, have external pressures around regulation, credit risk, and competition. Lenders control credit risk by assessing the borrower's creditworthiness before extending credit. If a borrower fails to meet a loan's conditions, fees can be charged, or the loan will become a loss.
Lenders can minimize loan losses by employing or outsourcing a collections team that contacts and attempts to collect from borrowers who fall behind on payments. At 7 Park Avenue Financial, we have delivered on the financing of credit services for unique finance programs delivered by industry leaders in a niche industry.
