Questions
We Are Most Commonly Asked Include…
Is Factoring a
recent financial tool?... How popular is it among corporations to manage their
cash flow?
The invoice factoring industry is a multi-billion dollar industry
and like your company… growing. It has probably been around as long as other
financial services. So it is unlikely you are the first company of your
clients' to utilize this valuable financial resource.
What is the cost
of factoring invoices? The rates to factor
invoices depends on individual invoice amounts, the length of the terms given,
and the total monthly volume. That is the best reason to get a
factoring
quote. We offer plans starting with factoring rates as low as 2%.
Should I bare the
expense of factoring our invoices? Only you can
make the decision of what is best for your corporation. That being said, the
majority of organizations currently accept credit cards as a method of payment.
They do this for the convenience of their customers. So why balk at facing the
expense of the convenience or flat-out need of your company?!
Is account
receivables factoring a loan or debt? Unlike a
debt or loan, you aren't responsible for repayment of funds advanced. It should
be looked at as an advance of accounts receivables. In other words, factoring
companies are buying the invoice(s). The client still bears the responsibility
of payment with or without an assignment of payment to a third party (a
factoring company).
What kind of cash
can I expect for our invoices? Eventually you'll
be paid for the entire invoice less the factoring rate. We are able to offer
most companies an 80% advance in as little as 24 hours. After your client
remits their payment, the balance will be forwarded less the factoring rate.
What happens in
the event our client doesn't pay? The primary
reason we can't advance the entire invoice is we bear the loss, if the client
files for bankruptcy protection. If the client is slow or refusing to remit
payment, we offer assistance in the collection process.
Are there any
long-term contracts I am required to sign? We
don’t require you to lock into any arrangement with us. Ultimately, your
company chooses what invoice(s) it factors and when.
Will I have to
audit our books or supply our financials or a business plan?
No… At least not for the sake of getting the invoices factored.
Only your client's ability to pay and verification that services have been
rendered and/or products have been delivered will come into play.
