WHAT IS INVOICE FACTORING?

Invoice factoring is a financial transaction and a type of debtor finance. In an invoice factoring agreement, a business sells its accounts receivable (invoice) to a third party (called a factor) at a discount. A company will often factor its receivable assets to meet its present and immediate cash needs versus waiting for payment based on original contract terms. Factoring invoices is also used to mitigate credit risk.

Factoring is also referred to as accounts receivable factoring, invoice factoring and sometimes erroneously accounts receivable financing. Accounts receivable financing is actually a form of asset-based lending (ABL) utilizing a company’s accounts receivable as collateral.

WHAT IS A FACTORING COMPANY?

A factoring company buys a business’ unpaid invoices in return for a factoring fee which is deducted once the full payment has been collected from the customer. A factoring company enables businesses to release cash by purchasing their invoices at a discount.

Most factoring companies are recourse arrangements, which means that you will be responsible for any unrecoverable invoices.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES
& DISADVANTAGES OF INVOICE FACTORING?

When it comes to all things factoring, we at eCapital are long-time experts in the field as an award-winning factoring company. Below is a list of useful resources to learn more about factoring your invoices:

ADVANTAGES
OF INVOICE FACTORING

  • Invoice factoring is easier to get than most solutions. The primary requirement is that you have invoices for delivered work that are payable by creditworthy customers.
  • Enjoy better working capital, which means more money for growth projects, staff training or stock purchases
  • Be able to move away from more restrictive forms of finance, like small business loans or overdrafts
  • Benefit from your chosen finance provider’s in-house credit control processes
  • Be able to focus on running your business, instead of chasing clients for payment

DISADVANTAGES
OF INVOICE FACTORING

  • Although factoring is a great solution, it is not perfect. No solution is. There are some disadvantages of invoice factoring – your clients will be informed that you’re using an invoice factoring service, and your factor will contact them to collect on factored invoices, which means:
    • You won’t be able to maintain your standard approach to client communication when it comes to billing
    • The image of your company may be affected, particularly if your clients assume that you are not established enough to oversee your own credit control

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF INVOICE FACTORING FOR TRUCKING & SMALL BUSINESS?

The needs of SMEs tend to vary according to growth stage and industry. To help you work out which type of factoring financing will suit your business, here is a brief guide to our five options:

INVOICE FACTORING

Account receivable factoring provides businesses with an option to finance their venture without taking out a loan. This is a type of debtor finance where SMEs sell its invoices to a third party at a discount, in order to provide an immediate cash injection. There are many reasons why a business may factor an invoice, including increasing cash flow and mitigating credit risk.

FREIGHT FACTORING

Freight factoring, truck factoring or logistics factoring is a specialized form of invoice factoring designed for the transportation industry. It is a mainstream financial strategy that involves factoring transportation receivables by the selling of account receivable invoices at a discounted rate in exchange for immediate cash.

STAFFING FACTORING

Staffing factoring, also known as Payroll Funding allows staffing companies the ability to get paid upfront on invoices. It is a funding solution that can be used by staffing companies such as healthcare staffing firms, Human Resources consulting firms, headhunters, general staffing agencies, Information Technology staffing agencies, and many more. These agencies can be paid at unpredictable times and in different terms.

NON-RECOURSE FACTORING

Under non-recourse factoring service, there is an agreement between the client and the factor wherein the factor shall bear the responsibility to absorb the cost of receivables that remain unpaid. This will make the credit risk stay with the factor and not with the client. The business gets unaffected and can continue to function without having to worry about bad debts.

RECOURSE FACTORING

In recourse factoring, both the client and the factor agree on a settlement wherein the client needs to buy back the unpaid bills receivable from the factor. This will make the credit risk stay with the client and not with the factor in case of the debtor does not pay. The risk of bad debts always remains in the business.

SPOT FACTORING

Spot factoring is a way for a business to access funds by selling unpaid invoices to a 3rd party, a spot factoring company, on a one off basis in order to receive payment quicker. The business will agree rates and fees with a spot factoring company and then decide which invoice/invoices it wants to assign to them.

IS FACTORING RIGHT FOR YOUR BUSINESS?

Generally speaking, invoice factoring facilities are best suited to companies that sell to other businesses on credit terms, and turnover more than $50,000 a year.

Invoice factoring can be used by any industry that sells products or services to another company, but in particular, industries that suffer cash flow problems due to the nature of their business.

Industries that experience high production costs, seasonal sales slow downs, slow paying clients, experience unexpected growth and other unpredictable costs affecting their day to day operational cash flow use factoring as a non debt solution to their cash flow problems.

These industries will include (but are not limited to) trucking companies, staffing agencies, manufacturing, construction and service industries.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why do Businesses Use Invoice Factoring

Factoring invoices is the fastest way to improve cash flow to your business bank account.  Some of the reasons business use invoice factoring are to:

  • Pay Employees on time
  • Hire More Staff when needed
  • Cover Operating Costs to Maintain Cash Flow
  • Maintain Growth Rate and Expansion
  • Grow your Accounts
  • Pay Bills on time

Is Invoice Factoring a Business Loan?

No. With invoice factoring, you are selling an asset (unpaid invoices) to quickly release working capital, and the invoice factoring company would be responsible for collecting the unpaid invoices. 

Who benefits from factoring?

Invoice factoring vs. bank loans: What’s the difference?

In a traditional environment, a company or small business owner will borrow money in the form of a cash advance from a lending institution and pledge collateral to secure the bank loan. Over time, the company or individual will work to pay this loan back with interest. Depending on the loan structure, payments may be due monthly, starting immediately, or the full principal and interest will be due at some specified date in the future.

Invoice factoring, by contrast, uses your existing invoices as collateral. If you have outstanding invoices due from your customers, you can sell those invoices to a third party for a discount. You’ll get an immediate injection of cash, and your customers will pay their invoices directly to the third party for goods and services.

Did you know factoring can improve your credit score?

Since invoice factoring does not cause your company to incur any debt, it can actually increase your credit score through consistent cash flow and financial stability.
