Invoice factoring

If your customers are businesses that pay on terms, factoring turns those unpaid invoices into working capital, so you’re not waiting on payment day to make payroll or take the next order.

How it works

Your invoices, working for you.

  1. You deliver and invoice as usual. Your customer gets their normal payment terms.
  2. A factoring company advances most of the invoice value, often within a few business days once your account is set up.
  3. Your customer pays the invoice on its usual terms.
  4. You receive the remaining balance, less the factor’s discount.

Because approval focuses largely on the strength of your customers and their payment history, factoring is a practical option for growing businesses whose sales are outpacing their cash.

Recourse or non-recourse

With recourse factoring, you remain responsible if a customer doesn’t pay. With non-recourse factoring, the factor takes on some or all of that credit risk. Each structure has trade-offs, and we’ll explain them in plain language.

Will my customers know?

In many arrangements customers are notified to send payment to the factor. Some providers offer confidential arrangements where your customers keep paying you as usual. We’ll show you which options are available for your business.

Your sales are strong but cash is slow.

A line of credit fits when

You need flexible cash for many uses.

If you sell to consumers or want funds for a range of purposes, a line of credit may be the better tool. Many businesses use both.

  • Retail or consumer sales
  • Mixed, recurring needs

FAQ

Invoice factoring: common questions.

Is invoice factoring a loan?

Factoring is generally structured as the sale of your receivables rather than a traditional loan. You receive cash for invoices you’ve already earned, and the factor collects payment from your customer.

Which invoices qualify?

Usually invoices to creditworthy business or government customers, for work that’s already been delivered, that aren’t past due. Invoices to consumers generally don’t qualify.

Can I factor only some of my invoices?

Often, yes. Some providers let you choose which invoices or customers to factor, while others work with your full receivables ledger. We’ll find the structure that fits.

How quickly can I get funds?

Setting up a new account takes a little longer while the factor reviews your customers. After that, funding on new invoices often arrives within a few business days.

Will factoring affect my relationship with customers?

Reputable factors handle collections professionally. Confidential options also exist where customers keep paying you directly. We’ll walk you through how each provider works.
