Imagine flexbility that no one else offers. Unlike the others, you choose what works best for you; you sign no long-term contracts; you pay no fees when your account is inactive. You set up your contract to meet your cash flow needs, not ours. You can choose between using our most advanced technology or using the old-fashioned systems - we maintain both for you. Unlike the others, our objective is not to force you to conform to us, but to get you the cash you need in the
quickest and most efficient manner. One
solution is called invoice factoring. Factoring is the process of selling accounts
receivable to an investor rather than waiting to collect the money from the
customer. Oh,
the Irony… Factoring
has an ironic distinction: It is the financial backbone of many of Factoring
has been around for thousands of years. Factors are investors who pay cash for
the right to receive the future payments on your invoices. An
unpaid receivable or invoice has value. It is a debt your customer has agreed
to pay in the near future. 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.
