Finance Lease Companies In Canada Experience The Benefits Of Leasing Company Offerings

Comments Disabled

Leasing company solutions can be the true ‘ success story ‘ of any business that requires assets and technology. But does the business owner/financial manager really understand how to maximize benefits achieved from this method of asset financing? Let’s dig in.

Over the years the lease finance industry has gravitated to financing every type of asset – they call that from ‘ micro ticket ‘ to ‘ large ticket ‘ which can be an office photo copy machine for 2k or a corporate aircraft for 20M$.

The borrower, aka ‘ the lessee ‘ that knows the differences of applying for and getting approved for different asset categories. Owners/managers can also waste a lot of shoe tread in dealing with the wrong firm when it comes to your company’s credit quality, geographical location, etc.

When it comes to the small ticket market (people disagree on the exact maximum deal size within this market segment) a large part of the financial approval is often based on the personal credit history and guarantees of owners. If your company doesnt have a truly very strong profile (strong = growing sales, growing profits, growing cash flow, acceptable debt levels) it can almost be guaranteed that personal guarantees will be requested.

The one thing we want to mention about guarantees is that owners/managers who can present their company financials properly can often have some ‘wiggle room ‘ in the personal guarantee conundrum. That might mean a ‘ partial guarantee ‘ or a ‘ declining balance’ guarantee. In some cases it might make sense to negotiate the type of ‘ covenants ‘ that are often related to bank loans – i.e. debt to equity / working capital ratios.

Old school credit granting is not quite dead yet also, so traditional criteria such as years in business, usefulness of the asset being financing relative to revenue / profit generation, and commercial credit references also can play a large part in the overall approval process. If there is one good thing happening in financing approvals is that timelines these days are close to instantaneous in the small / mid market – typically same day or 48 hrs max.

We’ve always maintained that clients focus far too much on rate, if only for the reason that that finance lease companies are in a highly competitive environment – ultimately your firm’s credit quality will always drive the lowest rate in a competitive environment. Owners/managers would be cautioned to spend more time on areas such as terms of the lease, renewals, buyout options, and down payments or security deposits that might on occasion be required.

While we’re talking in the main about ‘ lease financing ‘ remember also that term loans for equipment might ultimately make as much sense for your financing needs – Also assets already owned can be refinancing under creative sale leaseback or bridge loan scenarios.

Larger transactions for any leasing company will receive a lot more credit diligence when it comes to financial statement analysis, cash flow reviews, and consideration for nuances in the particular industry your firm might be in. Unfortunately some industries temporarily find themselves ‘ out of favor ‘.

We can’t over emphasize the need for time spent on documents – that might be a ‘ Master lease ‘ scenario, or the rights and obligations you have under and operating lease. The ability to ‘ add on’ to any current lease transaction is typically always available.

Amortization terms for finance lease companies tend to range from 2-7 years, in truth the majority of transactions are on a 3-5 year term which makes sense for a large category of different asset types.

What then are the most touted, and real… benefits of equipment finance they include :
Ability to access other credit facilities other than current borrowings
Rates
Ability to finance 100% of any asset acquisition
If you’re looking to maximize on the benefits of a leasing company solution seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can assist you with your asset finance needs.

There are several different types of financial markets. Financial markets are tools that allow people to buy and sell securities or commodities and other financial tools. Investors typically trade and sell the various forms of financial instruments through what is called the stock market. They also have the ability to trade between buyers and sellers. The trading can be done both domestically or internationally according to fair market pricing.

Capital markets are different types of financial markets that deal with the trade of certain types of bonds and stocks. Capital markets can either relate to newly issued bonds and stocks. Or it may handle trades of pre-existing bonds and stocks. This market is typically referred to as either the bond or stock market. The bond market oversees financing regarding the issuance of various types of bonds. And the stock market does the same but for stock issues.

Other vital markets include money markets. Money markets are components of the financial markets. This type of market concerns itself with short-term borrowing and lending practices of securities with a maturation date of one year or less. Various instruments are traded in money markets such as treasury bills, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and several other financial instruments. Money markets essentially facilitate short term debt and capital financing.

There are many other types of financial markets such as; derivatives, foreign exchange, insurance and commodity markets. The purpose of all financial markets is to provide some form of fund raising. It is through these various financial markets that those in need of borrowing funds can find those that are willing to lend funds. These types of financial transaction take place in stock exchange. It is in stock exchange where investors can buy and sell shares of stock from other companies.

The entire foundation of the various types of financial markets is based on a system to borrowing and lending. Those seeking funding can be individuals, corporations, the government and other institutions. There are many reasons these various types of borrowers seek funding. When companies sell shares of their stock, they may be in need of additional capital to meet their expansion needs. Various government entities utilize municipal bonds to raise funds for various projects including improving city infrastructure. There are many reasons for funding across all the different forms of borrowers.

Lenders in the Financial Market are actually the investors. Investors will purchase various forms of financial products which will end up converting into capital for the borrower. There are many different ways these transactions occur. One typical way is when a company issues shares of stock from their company. This is a quick way for companies that are valued in the market place, to make quick cash.

The different types of financial markets are in existence for the purpose of raising capital. As with any institution, there are advantages and disadvantages inherent in the system. It is important to be well informed about the various financial tools before you employ them for your use.

Changing Landscape of Financial System

Changing Landscape of Financial System Ajay Singh Chief Executive Officer Forbes Technosys Ltd

-The Forbes platforms is highly efficient can be readily linked with the Aadhaar Enabled Payment System,- says Ajay Singh. In Conversation with Mohd Ujaley.

You have a strong focus on BFSI sector. How do you look at some of the key flagship programmes of the government such as Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) and MNREGA? Forbes Technosys Ltd has a wide range of solutions for BFSI sector, all of which are designed with latest technology and by ensuring security standards that are in line with the changing landscape of banking and financial systems. To facilitate the cause of Financial Inclusion, MNREGA and DBT, we have developed an entire range of both centralised and doorstep delivery solutions, which can be utilised depending upon the requirements of the government, and the accessibility related factors in the remote areas. Forbes has installed centralised delivery solutions, which aim to provide solar energy to the rural areas and also provide wide range of banking and other services. A large number of other government schemes can also be linked through these solutions, thereby increasing the viability of these solutions. We are also delivering doorstep solutions which are specially designed for use by BCs in remote areas to provide basic banking services. To increase the scalability of Forbes Solution range, all the Forbes platforms have been provided with multifactor authentication systems, which can be readily linked with the Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AEPS).

You have been working for the government for quite some time now. How has been your experience? Other than BFSI domain, we are catering to sectors like power and telecom. We have deployed self service bill payment kiosks in almost all the major power utilities and telecom companies.More than `1000 Crores is being collected annually through our systems. Forbes Technosys has Government (DGS&D) certified information kiosks and various G2C (Government to Citizen) kiosks, which are deployed at various Municipal Corporation and Government departments like Tourism, etc. Our ATVM (Automatic Ticket Vending Machines) and POET (Passenger Operated Enquiry Terminals) machines are active in majority of metro railway stations. Forbes Technosys has developed Enterprise Mobility solutions and Canteen Management applications. We cater to many PSUs, which have large employee base. We have also developed HR leave management solutions and tourism kiosk. These kiosks can act as point of information and action for employees of those organisations and also for the visitors. Forbes has also developed cash and cheque collection solutions for insurance companies, and tax departments. For environmental awareness, Forbes also has developed Carbon Footprint Kiosks, which are placed at various government institutions, thereby offering a unique experience to visitor, for calculating his Carbon footprint and making him aware for reducing these. We have developed self-service solutions, through which citizens can interact with the government departments.

In order to facilitate financial inclusion of people from remote areas across the country, government has developed the plan to introduce micro-ATM and Business Correspondents. Do you see this space as a business opportunity? As a first step towards driving these unbanked masses into the banking stream government is looking for various initiatives like micro-ATM, Business Correspondents, etc. This is indeed a noble initiative and it will help in bringing more transparency in the way financial subsidies are managed. However, the system has its own constraints. In my opinion, the best possible way to check leakages and ensure safety of the payment system is through Electronic Cash Transfer. In this case the beneficiary gets access to his entitlement only after authenticating himself through the Aadhaar Enabled Payment System.

Aadhaar is indeed a revolutionary step forward, however de-duplication of the data seems to be the biggest challenge. What is the best way forward? The data captured through the Aadhaar System should be linked with different government organisations like banks, NIC, Police department, Municipal Corporation, RTO etc., for maximum advantage. The data captured should be fragmented and disseminated to the involved government departments. The government should also promote and deploy self service platforms and solutions, which are based on biometric authentication along with user account details, this will certainly lead to more efficiency and transparency.

Trust this little book to help you exchange debt for cash, exchange liabilities for assets, and exchange worry and stress for… Peace.

Are you a go-getter working your way up the corporate ladder or striving for success in your own business? None of it will matter if you lose your health, your soul, or your marriage in the process. Read this little book and learn how to hold onto your money and whatever else is important to you.

Dave Ramsey will teach you to run like a gazelle… Crown will teach you the spiritual aspects of money… Loral will teach you how to build a million…But how, exactly, in your day-to-day life, do you do that? What are the daily mechanics of saving and growing money?
