WELCOME !

Thanks for dropping in for some hopefully great business info and on occasion some hopefully not too sarcastic comments on the state of Business Financing in Canada and what we are doing about it !

In 2004 I founded 7 PARK AVENUE FINANCIAL. At that time I had spent all my working life, at that time - Over 30 years in Commercial credit and lending and Canadian business financing. I believe the commercial lending landscape has drastically changed in Canada. I believe a void exists for business owners and finance managers for companies, large and small who want service, creativity, and alternatives.

Every day we strive to consistently deliver business financing that you feel meets the needs of your business. If you believe as we do that financing solutions and alternatives exist for your firm we want to talk to you. Our purpose is simple: we want to deliver the best business finance solutions for your company.

Franchising Loans In Canada : Eliminating the Alligators Around Franchise Financing Requirements













It’s True , It’s Really Hard To Get A Franchise Loan .. Unless



OVERVIEW – Information on achieving successful franchise financing in Canada . Franchising loans present a unique challenge to the entrepreneur entering this aspect of Canadian business






Franchise financing
needs in Canada typically, and unfortunately, comes with a significant amount of ' worry ' around the franchisees ability to successfully complete his or her transaction and begin the entrepreneurial journey. More often than not the borrower finds themselves up to their neck in ' alligators '
as they encounter issues they previously have not considered. Let's dig in.

How then do franchising loans work in Canada, what’s involved, who are the players, and what is a solid ' fast track' to approval success? All good questions we think, as well as answers we're hopefully going to offer up.

Fundamental to understanding franchise loan success is the need for the franchisee to understand that despite the fact they are buying into a proven business model their business is after all a ' start up ' and ' small business' in many respects. That translates into a financing challenge as the lender places a significant amount of emphasis on your business background, your overall financial health, which is often score carded by your credit history.

Naturally your ability to attach yourself to a larger well known franchisor is a positive, but fundamentally all franchises can be financed.
A big mistake many clients we meet have made is to assume they will be receiving some, or a lot of assistance from their franchisor in respect to financing.

Nothing could be more wrong. A number of reasons exist for that - first of all your franchisor is in the business of selling franchises, they are not a finance firm. Also, numerous legal issues exist around their ability to promise your financial success relative to the risk involved in starting any business, large or small.

So as you come out of the gate in your decision to buy into the franchise industry (currently representing a huge portion of all the Canadian economy) it’s important to identify the lenders and expertise available to yourself to complete a successful financing.

In Canada that translates into a very small contingent of specialty franchise lenders, the Canadian banks via the ' SBL ' (BIL/CSBF) program, and miscellaneous offerings by various lessors and cash flow lenders.

If you’re not comfortable in dealing with, or spending the amount of time to cultivate expertise, and you want to eliminate those ' alligators ‘! , it’s very advisable to seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success who can assist you with your franchise financing needs.
