Invoice Factoring Services

Invoice factoring services are alternate financing solutions for small businesses. The process involves an invoice factoring company issuing a cash advance for your company’s unpaid invoices within 24 hours. This is beneficial for businesses because it bridges the gap between payment periods, instead of waiting 30, 45, 60+ days for customers to pay.

Unlike a loan, however, the factoring company buys your invoice to quickly provide the cash you need. Therefore, no debt is established. You get paid instantly and your customer pays the factoring company by sending payment to their address or lock box. It’s simply a way to get paid faster for the products and/or services you’ve provided. The factoring process is simple, learn more.

Factoring can be used as either a short-term or long-term financing option. Some businesses prefer to use it short-term in order to get through seasonal cash flow ups and downs. Others may factor invoices over a longer period, especially if they have a few regular clients who pay on extended terms.

Slow-paying customers can hurt small companies that rely on consistent cash flow. When money is held up in unpaid invoices, other operations such as funding payroll, hiring new employees, paying taxes, accounting, and expanding marketing efforts are often placed on hold. That’s where factoring invoices can help. Invoice factoring (also known as accounts receivable factoring) enables small business owners to secure the cash flow necessary for continued growth.

How to Qualify for Factoring

First and foremost, invoice financing works for businesses that provide services and/or products to other businesses (including government contracts). Factoring does not work for most business-to-consumer sales transactions. If you’re billing consumers, an unsecured loan or merchant cash advance is a better option.

Invoice financing is a straightforward process. Approval is mainly based on the creditworthiness of your clients, since they’re the ones responsible for paying the invoice. Invoices must not be pledged to another entity as collateral. The invoice should be payable within 90 days, but sometimes exceptions are made depending on the industry. There is no minimum credit score required and start-up companies are easily approved. Getting started with invoice factoring is easy.

Invoice Factoring Rates: What to Expect

So, how much of an upfront advance will factoring provide? Advances vary by industry, but the average business owner can anticipate an advance of 80% to 95% of the invoice amount. If you submit an invoice for $3,000, for example, you can expect an advance of $2,400 to $2,850. Rates are based on a variety of factors. Check out this article about how factoring rates are calculated.

You receive the advance and the remainder is placed into a reserve account. The reserve is released when your client pays the factor, minus a small fee for the factoring service.

Invoice factoring rates depend on a number of things, including your industry (staffing, trucking, construction, etc.). The best way to find out what your rates will be is to get a quote.

About Our Invoice Financing Services

Recourse and non-recourse services: Two types of factoring services are available: recourse and non-recourse. With recourse, should a customer fail to pay their invoice after a certain amount of time, you will be required to pay back the advance, and the factoring agency will not be held liable for non-payment.

In non-recourse funding, the factoring agency assumes the credit risk for any unpaid invoices, so you are not held responsible for outstanding payments. Since non-recourse factoring is less risky for you, it tends to have slightly higher factoring fees than recourse. If you have questions about which type of invoice financing is best for your business, we’re here to help!
