imperative to have your finances in order before you apply for financing\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As a business owner, hard work and persistence brought you to where you are today \u2014 but sometimes it takes capital to reach the next stage. While many business owners are intimidated by applying for financing to grow their business, securing funds ultimately comes down to planning: you have to know how much money you need and how it will help you achieve your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RBC recently sat down with new and established Canadian business owners \u2014 and their banking advisors \u2014 and here&#8217;s their advice for entrepreneurs looking to secure the funds to fuel their business&#8217;s growth.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leverage your successes to fuel your business growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a new business owner or a long-time entrepreneur, you can use your past experiences to showcase your ability to manage business funds. These success stories can demonstrate to lenders and investors that you\u2019re a credible business owner with the skills and vision to effectively leverage funds for growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rebecca Swedlove, franchise owner of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aqua-tots.com\/kanata\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-90227-73275f7f\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Aqua-Tots Kanata\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Aqua-Tots Kanata<\/a>, leveraged the success of her swim school&#8217;s first location to expand to a second location in Orleans. &#8220;Because the first location has been so strong, it helped finance the new one,\u201d says Swedlove&#8217;s RBC partner, Joanne Ironside.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erik Wigger, owner of FullMoon Autoworks, has a similar story. After renting his business space for two years, Wigger&#8217;s lease was up, and he was faced with a decision to either relocate or purchase the space. He worked with Diana D&#8217;Aoust, his RBC Relationship Manager, to showcase his business&#8217;s ability to support the property&#8217;s purchase, ultimately securing the funds he needed to drive exponential growth. \u201cErik has a really strong business mind and proved he had been successfully operating out of this location for some time,\u201d she explains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cool-white-background-color has-background\">Read full backstory:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/my-money-matters\/business\/get-inspired\/business-success-stories\/driving-success-fullmoon-autoworks-founder-has-grown-by-being-bold-and-being-smart\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-90227-b4748835\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Driving Success: FullMoon Autoworks Founder Has Grown by Being Bold and Being Smart\" class=\"rbc-link-format goto-link\" data-icon-class=\"goto-link\">Driving Success: FullMoon Autoworks Founder Has Grown by Being Bold and Being Smart<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But needing funds for growth isn&#8217;t only reserved for new business owners. Seasoned media entrepreneurs Raja Khanna and Dan Fill of Dark Slope sought funding for a project that would revolutionize the way they produced content. \u201cWe went to RBC with the idea to build a giant, multi-million-dollar LED volume wall,&#8221; says Khanna, explaining that an LED volume wall is a system of linked high-end LED panels used to display video footage or 3D content behind a production&#8217;s actors. They worked with Rebecca Rombeiro, a senior relationship manager for RBC&#8217;s Media and Entertainment Commercial Banking Team. &#8220;Rebecca didn\u2019t flinch. I think the track record Dan and I have of taking calculated risks and having them work out gave RBC the confidence to support this very capital-heavy build,\u201d Khanna adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cool-white-background-color has-background\">Read full backstory:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/my-money-matters\/business\/get-inspired\/business-success-stories\/how-dark-slope-is-pioneering-the-intersection-of-technology-and-entertainment\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-90227-e128686e\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"How Dark Slope is Pioneering the Intersection of Technology and Entertainment\" class=\"rbc-link-format goto-link\" data-icon-class=\"goto-link\">How Dark Slope is Pioneering the Intersection of Technology and Entertainment<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Know your numbers to prepare for financing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Business is all about numbers \u2014 you have to know how much you\u2019re earning and spending, and what you need to achieve your business goals. Before discussing your financial plan with your banker, gather all your business&#8217;s financial reports, forecasts and plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am very detail-oriented,\u201d says Swedlove. \u201cSo, when I put my forecasting together, I didn\u2019t miss by a cent. When you have so much on the line, you can\u2019t miss anything. Joanne and I ran the numbers so many times to make sure the financing plan made sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wigger was just as prepared for his meetings with D\u2019Aoust. \u201cErik came in with a three-year forecast analysis,\u201d she says. \u201cHe put together a business plan, projections and an analysis of the industry, and he can turn back to them to see where he is in terms of his growth. It\u2019s important to know your numbers not just for your bank, but for understanding where you need to be to stay on your path.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Build a relationship with a financial partner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your financial partner understands your business and is aligned with your vision, they are better equipped to help you secure financing at the right time. Establishing a relationship with a banker \u2014 before you need them for a loan or a mortgage \u2014 can help you receive timely financial support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wigger had to move quickly to purchase his business unit. Because he already had a strong relationship with D\u2019Aoust, she was able to arrange the financing he needed to close the deal on time. &#8220;Diana reduced a lot of worry during a time of big change,&#8221; says Wigger. &#8220;With her in my corner, I could approach the purchase of this property with confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>D&#8217;Aoust also encourages business owners to bring their entire advisory team together, recalling how Wigger let her work closely with his lawyer and accountant. \u201cSome owners like to keep their advisors separate. But when we work together, we\u2019re all trying to get to the same goal,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Khanna and Fill&#8217;s long-standing relationship with their advisor has also helped them secure financing over many years in the media business. \u201cIn our world, there are a lot of tax credits and production financing available, and RBC has been instrumental in getting us access to that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re looking to expand your business to another location, invest in technology or equipment to improve your operations or expand your products, accessing capital can help you make the next move. With the right planning, preparation and relationships in place, you can put yourself in a position to secure the financing you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse834a1009\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse834a1009\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57738-834a1009\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Things our lawyers want you to know\"><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapse834a1009\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p>This article is intended as general information only and is not to be relied upon as constituting legal, financial or other professional advice.
