Understanding
Factoring
Small businesses often don’t have the credit they need to borrow working capital, especially if they’re just starting up. Sometimes a business doesn’t want to add debt to its balance sheet. If you’re looking for funding that covers your business’s everyday expenses without getting a loan, try factoring.
Factoring uses your accounts receivable assets to get advance payment in cash. Why wait 30, 60, or 90 days for your customers to remit payment when you can have it in 24 hours or less? You can factor invoices, purchase orders, and contracts with a financial firm that pays for them upfront. Then, they collect payment directly from your customers. Factor one invoice or several at once for a larger payout.
Factors, or factoring firms, give you a percentage based on the value of your AR. They then collect on the invoice from the customer. After a small factoring fee, the rest gets forwarded to you. Most factors charge 3%-5% of the financed value. If you factor an account worth $100,000 at 80%, your business receives $80,000 now. When the customer pays, the factor recovers their $80,000. At a fee of 3%, the factor charges $2,400, meaning you get back $17,600 at the end of the deal.
how to
Effectively Apply Funds
Factoring can be approved in as little as 24 hours and funds can be used as working capital. It’s a useful tool when you can’t afford to wait on a conventional loan or need to increase your cash flow more than once. You don’t have to worry about repaying the factor unless your customer requests a refund or fails to pay their account.
