Since 2002, Great Lakes Business Credit has provided Asset Based Lines of Credit and Factoring facilities to companies unable to obtain or maintain bank financing. We lend against an operating company's accounts receivable, inventory, machinery & equipment and, recently added,
owner-occupied real estate as well as
Debtor-in-Possession financing. Our territory encompasses the eastern half of the U.S. and we provide facilities ranging from $100,000 to $2,000,000+.
Great Lakes Business Credit offers distinct competitive advantages: 1)
We are nimble (can close and fund within 30 days of proposal acceptance); 2)
No early termination fees (our goal is to return a client company to bank financing as quickly as feasible); 3)
We offer references (both current and former clients); and, 4)
We share opportunities with our referral sources.

As the country pondered political issues in preparation for the upcoming election, credit risk and regulatory issues were on the minds of bankers and regulators from across the globe at RMA's Annual Risk Management Conference, held October 26-28 in Washington, D.C.
Welcoming more than 640 attendees from the U.S., Canada, Germany, Dominica, and Nigeria, the conference focused on a wide range of topics: cyber security, HELOC portfolio risk strategies, construction and leveraged lending, model validation, changes in accounting practices regarding expected losses, risk issues facing community banks, communication of risk appetite throughout the institution, and other regulatory issues. In addition, the conference welcomed keynote addresses from Martin Gruenberg, Charles Krauthammer, John Silvia, and Spyro Karetsos.

If you live in the United States there is a good chance you are familiar with Target, the second largest retailer in the U.S. On January 15th,
after attempting to expand its operations in Canada, Target's Canadian division filed for bankruptcy protection in Canada. Thousands of suppliers were left with inventory, purchase orders, unpaid invoices, and other debt stemming from the market giant's bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy is a business strategy to navigate the cyclical nature of business. The reason large companies incorporate independently when expanding across borders, is the ability to manage the operations as their own entity. Target Canada is just one example of a common occurrence, and the reason behind most bankruptcies might surprise you.
