Invoice Factoring
Working Capital
Learn how invoice factoring works and how to access working capital.
How long does it take to get set up?
Not long at all. It typically takes between 3-5 business days for the initial underwriting and funding process. After that, we typically fund within 24 hours of receiving an invoice, often the same-day.
What can I expect during the application and funding process?
Here's an overview of the process from beginning to end:You send us your completed application and AR aging for initial reviewWe review everything, share a proposal and complete underwritingOur operations team sets up your new payment address with your customer and confirms invoices. Once everything checks out, you'll receive the advance within 24 hours of verificationWe keep an eye on invoices and help with collections so you can stay focused on growing your business.Your customer pays us, and we send the rebate (the rest of the funds minus fees) to you.
What types of business can factor?
A surprising number. We work with all kinds of industries from Manufacturing, and Distribution to Oilfield Services, Staffing, and plenty more. If you invoice other businesses, factoring might be a great fit.
Do you work with start-up companies?
Yes! In fact, many start-up companies use factoring to generate the cash flow needed to establish and grow their business.
Is factoring a good fit for my business?
It might be! Here's a quick gut-check. Factoring may be a great solution if your company:Provides goods or services to commercial customersDoesn't have tax liens (or has a payment plan in place)Has unpaid receivables that are not pledged elsewhereBills the customer upon completion of work or delivery of goodsCan provide documentation like field tickets, signatures, BOL's etc.Works with customers on 15-120 day terms, with solid communication, online systems, and good commercial creditHas average monthly sales of $50K to $5MMWants a team that cares about you, your customers, and your business!
What if my personal credit isn't very strong
Don't sweat! Although we do review personal credit, one of the great things about factoring is that we rely the most heavily on the credit-worthiness of your customers. If you work for quality companies that have good commercial credit, it's unlikely your personal credit will affect our ability to fund.
Will you communicate with my customer?
Sometimes, yes, but always respectfully and professionally. We may contact them to update a payment address on file, verify invoices, or handle collections. The goal is to make your life easier while protecting the relationships you've worked hard to build.
Do I have to factor all of my invoices?
No, you choose which accounts to factor. With no monthly minimums, you can factor as much or as little as you need on Eligible Accounts.
Do you charge to review the credit of my potential new customers?
No. We believe, whether you plan to factor them or not, it's in everyone's best interest for our clients to have good credit information available to them when making the decision to do business with a new customer.
What happens if I'm already factoring or receiving financing from another company?
We're happy to help you review your current financing arrangement. If a buyout is appropriate, we'll work with your current finance company as well as your customers to ensure the smoothest transition possible for you.
