What is factoring?
Factoring is the process that helps a business improve cash flow by selling reliable accounts receivable at a discount. It is a viable method of building working capital without taking on an equity partner or adding new debt. Factoring can be an additional source of capital when combined with bank credit lines currently in place.
How does factoring work?
Advantage Business Capital purchases your accounts receivable and advances up to 90% of verifiable invoices. The balance of the invoices, less our discount, is paid to you after we receive payment from your customer. Funds are typically available within 48 to 72 hours of request.
What does factoring cost?
There are no upfront fees or maintenance fees when you use our factoring services. The only fee you pay is a discount fee for each invoice factored. The discount fee depends on the monthly factoring volume, the creditworthiness of your customers, and the length of time expected to be paid. We offer both fixed and floating fee structures to meet your specific needs.
What is my obligation?
There are no long-term contracts or agreements. You choose which accounts to factor, and you may discontinue the service at any time.
What collateral is required?
The only collateral typically required for a factoring line is your company’s accounts receivable
What types of companies qualify?
Companies qualifying must provide a product or service to creditworthy commercial customers while offering 30 to 60 day payment terms. Advantage Business Capital reviews the financial strength and payment history of your customers.
How do I know the invoices are paid?
Advantage Business Capital’s state-of-the-art software program provides a timely, detailed report on each invoice payments. These reports, along with copies of the checks, are faxed to you the same day.
How long does approval take?
After an application and related documents are received, client approval and initial funding take approximately 2-5 days. Subsequent findings are typically made within 24 hours.
