what is invoice factoring?

Invoice factoring is a financial transaction in which a business sells its accounts receivable (invoices) to a third-party company, known as a “factor.” The factor then advances a significant portion of the invoice amount to the business upfront, typically around 80-90% of the total value. The remaining percentage is held in reserve.

Here’s invoice factoring works:

Key Benefits of Factoring

  1. Improved Cash Flow: It provides an immediate infusion of cash, which can help businesses meet their financial obligations, cover operating expenses, and invest in growth opportunities.

  2. Reduced Administrative Burden: The factor handles the collections process, saving the business time and resources.

  3. No New Debt: Invoice factoring is not a loan. It’s a transaction based on existing invoices, so there’s no need to take on additional debt.

  4. Flexibility: It’s a scalable financing option that can grow with your business. The amount of funding available increases as your sales and invoices increase.

  5. Mitigation of Bad Debt Risk: Some factors offer credit checking services, which can help minimize the risk of non-payment by customers.

Thank you for making this process smooth and non-stressful. Your team is professional, your rates are reasonable, your execution is timely and you are easy to do business with. I have worked with banks, financiers, factorers, etc. for the past 30 years as either an executive or consultant and American Receivable is the most efficient company I have ever worked with. The only draw back is you have to listen to some of Jack’s Dad jokes occasionally. Mike Cunningham, CEO Pronto Solutions, Inc.

Have been looking for invoice financing for a very long time. Needless to say, most companies in this sector are anything but trustworthy. That is, until I stumbled across American Receivable. Brad Gurney was my first contact point at the company and after a very easy processing, I was up and running with them. They are fast, there is no hidden fees and they communicate with you regularly. Highly recommended!!
