Benefits of Factoring Receivables
Factoring is a flexible financial solution that can help your business be
more competitive while improving your cash flow, credit rating,
and supplier discounts. Unlike traditional bank financing, factoring
relies on the financial strength and credit worthiness of your
customers, not you. You can use factoring services as much as
you want or as little as you want. There are no obligations, no
minimums, and no maximums. Here are the most common reasons businesses
use Factoring services:
Improve Cash Flow Without Additional Debt
- Eliminate long billing cycles and receive cash for your outstanding
invoices in 24 hours or less.
- No new debt is created. Factoring is not a loan.
This allows you to preserve your financial leverage to take on
new debt.
- Meet tax requirements on time
- Purchase capital equipment
- Pay off delinquent obligations
- Market for additional business
- Reduce stress, improve planning
Customer Credit Services
- Reduce bad debt expense
- Streamline credit approvals for new customers
- Improve decision-making on new business
- Reduce administration costs
Accounts Receivable Managment
- Reduce administrative costs
- Improve customer relationships
- Improve receivable turns
- Improve accounting
- Redirect critical resources to marketing and production
Offer Better Terms - Win More Business
- With Factoring you can attract more business by offering better
terms on your invoices. Most companies negotiate on price to win
business in a competitive market, but with Factoring you can negotiate
with terms instead of price.
- To your customers, better terms can be more attractive than
better prices.
- When using attractive terms to win business, you can build the
cost of factoring into your costs of good and services.
Example:
A new customer may choose to do business with your company because
you can offer NET 30 or NET 45 terms while your competitor
(who isn't factoring) requires payment up front but has a 3%
better price. If you factor the subsequent invoice at a discount
of 3%, you have leveraged factoring services to win the business
at no extra cost and improved your cash flow at the same time.
Flexability
- Factor as much as your want or as little as you want. You decide.
- No obligations. No binding contracts.
- There are No minimums and No maximums in the amount you can
factor.
- Funding is based on the financial strength of your customers.
