Factoring services can provide alternative source of working capital.  Meet obligations on time.Paying vendors on time helps to establish a solid credit track record and allows for increased future credit limits from vendors as well as financial institutions. 

  Offer credit terms to customers. Offering credit terms to customers is a common way to increase sales by making it easier for customers to buy.    Having financial backing to carry accounts receivable is essential if a business wants to be able to follow through on its commitments.     Reputable factoring companies encourage managed growth by consulting with clients regarding exposures . and other risks when taking on new credit accounts.

Setting up a factoring services relationship is quick and easy compared to other forms of financing.    Applications simply call for basic company information and a customer list. Years of profitability are not required, which makes factoring an option for startups generating receivables. It is possible for funding to occur in as little as a couple of days after receipt of the application and invoices. 

Each factoring services company operates a little differently, so there are different benefits and costs.   Several criteria should be addressed when searching for a reputable factor. Are there setup fees, maintenance fees or penalty fees?

Is there a long-term contract? Are there monthly minimums? Does the factor provide credit and collection services at no additional charge? What accounting reports will the factor supply?  What value-added services does it provide?

Most business bankers are a good referral source for reputable factoring companies. Bankers refer to factoring companies because they realize that although thecustomer may not be bankable at the time of the referral, in a short time it could be a viable candidate for conventional financing. As a short-term financing solution, factoring relationships generally run from 6 months to a couple of years.

Businesses choosing to maintain momentum, despite a  lack of conventional financing options, find that factoring not only offers cash but also a stable foundation on which to build. They look to a future of managed growth and profitable performance that will bridge the gap to qualifying for bank financing.Many businesses fail in the first year of operation, due to cash flow problems.
Even established businesses suffer from the occasional cash crisis. Most smaller businesses overlook a solution that large businesses have been using for years, which is factoring. Factoring is the selling of accounts receivable, or invoices. Corporations sell invoices at a discount in exchange for receiving their money when they need it, rather than when the invoice is due.

"An invoice is a promise to pay, and any promise to pay has a cash value," . "The thing small businesses don't realize is that they can use the same techniques that corporations have used successfully for decades now. It's the sameprocess, just on a smaller scale." An investor who buys invoices, called a factor, pays slightly less than the face value of the invoice for the right to collect the payment on the invoice on the regular due date. The business selling the invoice gets cash in hand, and no longer has to worry about collecting on the invoice.

The discount at which they sell the invoice is no different than giving their customer a discount for paying cash, or discounting merchandise to generate sales. Corporations have long looked at the discount involved with factoring as part of the cost of doing business. Small businesses should consider how much money they have tied up in accounts receivables,and consider what they could do with that money if they had it months ahead of when it comes due. They can't use an invoice to pay their debts, but they can sell that invoice and use the cash to pay their debts, or meet payroll, or buy more raw materials to step up production.

Factoring is a solution for any kind of business, from small, struggling operations to large,established ones. It can be used as a tool for growth, shortening the business cycle and allowing for more production without having to wait for invoices to come due. Even with the discount,businesses usually net more profit with factoring than without.

Cash flow is one of the main reasons businesses fail. At one time or another, every business, even successful ones, have experienced poor cash flow. Cash flow does not have to be a problem any more. Do not be fooled -- banks are not the only places you can get funding. Other solutions are available and you do not have to borrow.

What is Factoring?

One solution is called factoring. Factoring is the process of selling accounts receivable to an investor rather than waiting to collect the money from the customer.

Factoring Principals

Although factoring deals exclusively with business-to-business transactions, a large percentage of the retail business uses a factoring principal. MasterCard, Visa, and American Express all use a form of factoring in their retail transactions. Using the purest definition of the word, these large consumer finance companies are really just large factors of consumer paper.

Think about it: You make a purchase at Sears and charge it to your MasterCard. The store gets paid almost immediately, even though you do not make payment until you are ready. For this service, the credit card company charges Sears a fee (typical fees range from two to four percent of the sale).

The Benefits

Factoring can offer many benefits to cash-hungry companies. Rather than wait 30, 60, 90 days or longer for payment on a product or service that has already been delivered, a business can factor (sell) its receivables for cash at a small discount off the amount of the invoice.

Payroll, marketing efforts, and working capital are just a few of the business needs that can be met with this instant cash.

Factoring provides the means for a manufacturer to replenish inventory and make more products to sell: There is no longer a need to wait for earlier sales to be paid. Factoring is not just a cash management tool for manufacturers: Almost any type of business can benefit from factoring.

Generally, a business that extends credit will have 10 to 20 percent of its annual sales tied up in accounts receivable at any given time. Think for a moment about how much money is tied up in 60 days’ worth of invoices: You cannot pay the power bill or this week's payroll with a customer's invoice, but you can sell that invoice for the cash to meet those obligations.

Factoring is a fast and easy process. The factor buys the invoice at a discount, usually a few percentage points less than the face value of the invoice.
