7 Benefits of Factoring Your ReceivablesPosted by Interstate Capital Corp on December 15th, 2016
Factoring is an age-old way of turning those outstanding invoices waiting in the accounts receivable into ready cash for payroll, rent, and other fixed costs. Business owners also use that infusion of working capital to grow their companies, with new staff, new equipment, more space, better technology, increased inventory, and other ways to boost profits. Business owners benefit from factoring their accounts receivables in many ways: 1. Fast payment on your accounts receivable With factoring, the business gets paid upfront on work they have completed. The factoring company sends payment, via wire transfer, direct deposit, or other channels, as soon as a qualified invoice is submitted to the factoring company. The business no longer has to wait 30, 60, or even 90 days to get paid. 2. Professional collections services When a business sells its invoices to a factoring company, it also turns over the work and challenges associated with the collections process. The factoring company’s professional collections team takes over this chore, freeing up the business owner and staff for other important tasks. 3. Unlimited potential for capital While bank loans are limited by the established loan amount, factoring is a source of financing that grows alongside a company’s sales. As sales increase and receivables grow, more cash becomes available for the business owner to use. 4. Savings with volume and early payment discounts Many suppliers offer early payment discounts or quantity discounts. With improved cash flow, businesses can take advantage of these savings opportunities which will directly affect your bottom line. At the same time, paying on time or early helps improve their own credit scores. 5. A non-debt solution One of the best advantages of AR factoring is that business owners do not incur additional debt when they sell their invoices to a factoring company. They are not gambling on being able to pay back a loan based on their unknown future revenues; they are simply getting paid promptly on work that has been completed instead of waiting 30, 60, or even 90 days to be paid. This helps keep a company’s balance sheet in better shape, making it easier to obtain other types of financing or to sell the company. 6. Easy and fast application process Applying to a factoring company is easier and the approval process is faster than applying for most bank loans. Applicants do not need to meet rigorous credit checks or put up collateral to qualify. The factoring company is evaluating the creditworthiness of an applicants’ customers. 7. Free credit screening Factoring companies continually check the credit background of their clients’ customers and potential customers, which helps protect those clients against loss.
