More  Invoice Factoring   Information

The increase in freight bill factoring volume is mainly attribute to the credit crunch in the late 80's. As the availability of bank commercial credit tightens, more businesses looktowards alternative sources of financing to achieve growth.

Factors help companies which banks find difficult to approve such as start-up companies and companies whose growth outstrips cash. The primary focus in a factoring relationship is the credit-worthiness of the customers being invoiced and the client's ability to produce a quality product or service.

Recently a furniture importer and manufacturer hesitantly applied for account receivable factoring services. The client did not want to throw away a relationship with their existing freight factoring company that they had spent time developing, but felt it necessary to improve upon their fee, advance rate and service. Maintaining cash flow through the transition was critical.

The owners realized that the benefits of going with us clearly outweighed the cost of maintaining the status quo after a formal quote was presented. The quote included lower fees, higher advance rates, quicker turnaround time in customer credit inquiries, structured collection management, and personalized, prompt service.

Their cash flow was not jeopardized. In seven business days we were able to pay off the old receivable factoring company, verify invoices with 100 customers, negotiate with an outside investor and fund the new client. The owners now find themselves with a successful combination of competitive rates and unsurpassed service.

Article 2

In recent years, businesses have discovered that factoring accounts receivable can combat the ups and owns of unpredictable cash-flow cycles and provide a viable source of working capital when conventional financing is not always an option.

Factoring is the practice of purchasing unpaid invoices from a company for a small, face-value discount. Factors-these buyer-give instant cash for what they expect to receive later, and the sellers can increase their cash flow without the usual 15-,30- or 60-day wait for payment.

For years, the bulk of factoring was predominately in the textile, furniture and apparel industries. Today, invoice-purchasing firms are working with all kinds of industries, including manufacturers, service providers, transportation companies and high-tech firms.

The increase is mainly attributed to the credit crunch that began in the late 1980s. as the availability of bank commercial credit tightens, more businesses look toward alternative sources of financing to achieve growth. Factors can help those firms that banks often find difficult to approve, such as start-up companies whose growth outstrips cash. The primary focus in a factoring account receivable financing  relationship is the credit-worthiness of the customers being invoiced and the client’s ability to produce a quality product or service.

How it works

Depending on the agreement, businesses can pick and choose which receivables they wish to sell to the factoring company, who immediately advances 90-975 of the face value of the invoices. The balance of the funds, less the discount fee, is released once collections are made.

In addition to providing immediate cash on invoices, the factoring company tracks commercial invoices performs valuable credit analysis on new and existing customers and conducts professional, routine follow-up on invoices as they become due.

The cost of doing business with a factoring company is the discount taken on the invoices submitted for funding. Fees range from 1-3 percent, depending on volume, credit-worthiness of customers sold and overall risk.

Businesses choosing to maintain momentum, despite a lack of conventional financing options, find the cost of factoring is often offset by the increased revenue created. They also look to a future of managed growth and profitable performance that will bridge the gap to qualifying for bank financing.

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.
