In today’s fast-paced business world, it’s essential to have access to quick and efficient funding solutions. Invoice factoring from American Receivable is one such solution that provides working capital to small business owners in need of immediate funds. But what exactly is invoice factoring, and how does it work? This guide will help you understand everything you need to know about invoice factoring and how it can benefit your business.
What is Invoice Factoring?
Invoice factoring is a financing solution that allows a business owner to sell their outstanding invoices to a factoring company in exchange for immediate cash. The factoring company buys the invoices at a discount, and then collects the full amount from the customers on behalf of the business owner. The factoring company bridges the gap between the time it takes your customer to pay and your payroll being due.
Why Use Invoice Factoring for Working Capital?
Invoice factoring is an ideal solution for businesses in need of working capital. Many small businesses struggle to manage their cash flow, especially when it comes to waiting for customers to pay their invoices. Invoice factoring can provide immediate funds to help cover day-to-day expenses, purchase inventory, pay employees, or invest in marketing and growth.
How Does Invoice Factoring Work?
The process of invoice factoring is straightforward and simple. Here’s how it works:
- A business owner submits their invoices to the factoring company.
- The factoring company evaluates the invoices and offers the business owner a cash advance, typically between 85% and 90% of the total value of the invoices.
- The business owner receives the cash advance, and the factoring company takes on the responsibility of collecting payment from the customers.
- When the customers pay their invoices, the factoring company deducts a fee and the balance is paid to the business owner.

Invoice factoring offers several benefits to small business owners, including:
- Immediate Access to Funds: Invoice factoring provides quick access to working capital, helping businesses cover expenses and invest in growth.
