Invoice Factoring

Invoice Factoring allows you to convert your business invoices to immediate cash advances.

What is Invoice Factoring?

Invoice factoring is a form of small business funding where a business sells its invoices to a factoring company in exchange for up-front funding.  When the invoice is paid by the customer, the remaining balance is paid to the business owner minus a fee.
Invoice factoring allows you to receive the working capital you need to maintain operations and plan for the future, but without taking on the periodic fixed payments associated with a term loan.  If slow-paying clients are stalling your cash flow, invoice factoring can help you by liquidating your outstanding accounts receivables to keep your business running.
​
Rather than waiting 30 to 120 days for your customers to pay you the money you need to run your business, invoice factoring provides you with funds within 24 to 48 hours.

How does Invoice Factoring work?

After submitting your invoices to the lender for invoice financing, you’ll receive the amount of the invoice minus a percentage as payment.  Once the client pays you, you satisfy the agreement with the lender.  While it may be helpful to have the lender collect unpaid invoices on your behalf, understand that you will have less control over the collections process and that your clients may become aware of your cash flow shortages.
