How Factoring Works

More  Account  Receivable Factoring Information

In recent years, businesses have discovered that account receivable factoring accounts receivable can combat the ups and owns of unpredictable cash-flow cycles and provide a viable source of working capital when conventional financing is not always an option.

Factoring is the practice of purchasing unpaid invoices from a company for a small, face-value discount. Factors-these buyer-give instant cash for what they expect to receive later, and the sellers can increase their cash flow without the usual 15-,30- or 60-day wait for payment.

For years, the bulk of account receivable factoring was predominately in the textile, furniture and apparel industries. Today, invoice-purchasing firms are working with all kinds of industries, including manufacturers, service providers, transportation companies and high-tech firms.

The increase is mainly attributed to the credit crunch that began in the late 1980s. as the availability of bank commercial credit tightens, more businesses look toward alternative sources of financing to achieve growth. Factoring companies can help those firms that banks often find difficult to approve, such as start-up companies whose growth outstrips cash. The primary focus in a account receivable factoring relationship is the credit-worthiness of the customers being invoiced and the client’s ability to produce a quality product or service.

So, why wouldn't a business just go over to their friendly banker for a loan to help them through their cash flow problems?, "Getting a loan can be difficult if not impossible, especially for young, high-growth operation, because bankers are not expected to decrease lending restrictions soon. The relationships between businesses and their bankers are not as strong or as dependable as they used to be." "The impact of a loan is much different than that of the account receivable factoring process on a business, A loan places a debt on your business balance sheet, costing you interest.

By contrasts, account receivable factoring puts money in the bank without creating any obligation and frequently the factoring discount will be less than the current loan interest rate. Loans are largely dependent on the borrower's financial soundness, whereas factoring is more interested in the soundness of the client's customers and not the client's business itself. This is a real plus for new businesses without established track records." 

There are many situations where account receivable factoring can help business meet its cash flow needs. By providing a continuing source of operating capital without incurring debt, factoring can provide growth opportunities that can dramatically increase the bottom line. Virtually any business can benefit from factoring as part of its overall operating philosophy

Cash flow is one of the main reasons businesses fail. At one time or another, every business, even successful ones, have experienced poor cash flow. Cash flow does not have to be a problem any more. A solution is available.

The solution is called account factoring., factoring is the process of selling accounts receivable to an investor rather than waiting to collect the money from the customer the concept has been around for thousands of years. He describes factors as investors who pay cash for the right to receive the future payments on your invoices.

"A receivable or an invoice which has not been paid yet has value. It is a debt your customer has agreed to pay in the near future."

Cash flow is one of the main reasons businesses fail. At one time or another, every business, even successful ones, have experienced poor cash flow. Cash flow does not have to be a problem any more. Do not be fooled -- banks are not the only places you can get funding. Other solutions are available and you do not have to borrow.

What is Factoring?

One solution is called factoring. Factoring is the process of selling accounts receivable to an investor rather than waiting to collect the money from the customer.

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.

Factoring provides the means for a manufacturer to replenish inventory and make more products to sell: There is no longer a need to wait for earlier sales to be paid. Factoring is not just a cash management tool for manufacturers: Almost any type of business can benefit from factoring.

Generally, a business that extends credit will have 10 to 20 percent of its annual sales tied up in accounts receivable at any given time. Think for a moment about how much money is tied up in 60 days’ worth of invoices: You cannot pay the power bill or this week's payroll with a customer's invoice, but you can sell that invoice for the cash to meet those obligations.

Factoring is a fast and easy process. The factor buys the invoice at a discount, usually a few percentage points less than the face value of the invoice.
