FACTORING Why wait 30 or 60 days for your clients to pay invoices? With Accounts Receivables Factoring you can receive up to 90% of the money due your company in only 2-3 days. The balance is paid out when your customer pays their bill (less applicable fee.) Our pool of investors specialize in buying invoices from companies like yours. This can be done regardless of your credit. One of the biggest advantages of factoring is that you have the use and access to a professional commercial credit department to evaluate new accounts. A service that most small to medium sized businesses would find cost-prohibitive to establish on their own. Download Visual Aid[PDF] Download Education Article[PDF]
REVERSE FACTORING This is factoring arranged and paid for from the customer’s side of the transaction. If you import goods from other countries or even from a vendor in Canada and need to pay in advance of receiving goods, reverse factoring may be for you. In a reverse factoring transaction, the factor advances the funds to make a purchase. When the goods arrive, you pay the factor their money back plus a fee. This is particularly of interest when ordering goods from countries such as China, India, or Brazil where long lead times can tie up your money in unproductive ways. Download Education Article[PDF]

If your business has less than 100 employees and does less than $5 million in annual sales, a loan through the government guaranteed loan program may be your best option. ALP Ltd.

EQUITY FINANCING Equity refers to money placed in a business by the owner. Equity financing basically suggests that a new partner invests in the business. This investment can take many forms such as buying common shares, preferred shares, or other convertible instruments like bonds that can be changed into common stock if certain conditions are met. In using equity financing, entrepreneurs risk diluting their ownership position since the new money is in some ways a “partnership.” Likewise, the equity investor is subordinated to other debt holders and in the event of a business failure stand a lesser chance of getting their investment back in the liquidation process. As a rule, ALP Ltd. does not undertake to arrange equity financing, although we certainly will discuss it with you as a potential solution to a financing problem. Download Education Article[PDF]
