Factoring is the only source of business financing that grows automatically with you as your freight business expands. More loads mean additional invoices and more cash – immediately.
The first question you might be asking yourself is how much it costs. Determining your rate is quite straight forward. All factoring companies use a few basic criteria to calculate the rate:
Based on these criteria, rates are typically 1%-5% of the amount invoiced. The benefits of receiving immediate cash typically far outweigh the fee.
Good question! Companies often turn to factoring for an immediate source of cash. In the transportation industry, waiting weeks or even months to get paid is normal (ouch!) but most companies can’t afford to wait that long. Factoring provides quick, affordable cash and eliminates the hassle of trying to collect from customers on your own.
With a bank loan, it’s a lengthy and difficult application process, with a mountain of debt and monthly interest fees – yikes, that doesn’t sound fun to us either. While this is what you can expect with a bank loan, factoring serves as a smart alternative. With factoring you get a simple, streamlined application process with approval in hours. Best of all, you incur zero debt! Because of this – big, medium and small businesses alike benefit from factoring.
Determining rates isn’t quite as complicated as it may seem. All factoring companies use the same basic criteria to calculate their rates:
In a non-recourse factoring arrangement, the factoring company (eCapital) will cover the loss if your customer files bankruptcy. While in a recourse arrangement, you always remain responsible for non-payment. eCapital offers both non-recourse and recourse programs tailored to meet your specific needs.
We have a variety of methods like wire transfer, ACH, Money Code, T-check, paper check or through your eCapital Fuel Card. You can choose whichever way is easiest for you!
