It Doesn’t Matter How Well You Plan… Stuff Happens in Calgary.
Moments of Glory
I remember several years ago. I had hit a home run in my business. I landed a $130,000.00 contract. The work was straight forward and we were perfectly positioned to produce the quality and turnaround the customer needed. Little did I know my moment of glory could bring me so much pain and affliction.
The project got off to a great start. New staff was hired. The training was going well. Product was being bought a great prices due to the massive quantities needed for the contract. Everyone was willing to work overtime to get the work done…. And it was all being done on budget. It was one of the most exhilarating experience of my business career to date. Then the proverbial you know what hit the fan. There was no money in the bank. Expense raced away while income was stalled due to the time needed to produce the work and the 30 days credit required to get the contract.
Stalls are Deadly For Pilots and Business Owners
The infamous stall I had often read about had struck my business. I didn’t matter that I was one of North America’s best at what I did. Nor did it matter that had one of the most efficient crews in the nation. Our success was potentially becoming my greatest failure. Our cash flow got turned on it’s head within weeks. Our normal turnarounds where stalled by the setup time needed to get the work flowing through the plant and my banker looked at me like I was an absolute idiot.
The banker not only treated me poorly but wanted me to lose precious management time preparing an extensive business plan for a 90 day project. OMG I couldn’t believe it. Years of profitability and fees paid and Bozo, wants me to pretend I’m an MBA. No way. I needed to keep my eyes on the nest eyes and make sure production maintained it’s pace or h–l would definitely be the state of my union.
Bride Financing 101
So I decided to contact my mentors in business. Told them about my situation. They gave me some advise and inspired me to give them a reason to help. I listened carefully and quickly learnt what bridge financing was. I was fortunate. I had a mentor who genuinely cared. (A staple every business owner should strive to create). He told me I would need to pay a premium and provide some security to get the money I needed to avoid having my payroll bounce. He knew me and my reputation and would accept my guarantee to solve my problems… but he demanded a hefty “fee” for solving my problems.
A Sensible Solution
I knew the fee was expensive, bit was it? Compared to my other options, none of which provided me with any possibility of profits without embarrassments I knew the price was sensible. Within minutes I had the $20,000.00 I needed to cover the month and the contract was completed on time and on budget. Sensible solutions are possible when you use the power of angel lenders.
