What is Factoring?
Factoring is a financing process that gets you money for your receivables immediately, instead of you waiting 30–60 days for your customers to pay. The process has a variety of names: “Invoice factoring,” “AR Factoring,” “Asset-Based Lending,” and “Commercial Finance Lending.” Regardless of the name, the goal is to obtain money for your receivables as soon as your sale or service is complete. It solves a cash flow problem by enabling you to meet payroll obligations or pay other business expenses in a timely manner. To summarize the way factoring works:
- We advance 65–85% of your invoice on the day the service or sale is complete and you invoice your customer.
- We will mail your invoice to the customer on your behalf and collect the accounts.
- The balance (15–35%) minus our fee (2.6–5.5%) is paid to you the day we receive payment from your customer.
