The First Step: The Client Application
To start with, you'll need to fill out a basic form about your business that we'll provide. It asks for easy stuff like your business name, where you're located, what you do, and some information about who your customers are.
You might also have to share documents like an accounts receivable aging report or your current customers' credit limits. The important thing to remember is that we're trying to work out how likely your customers are to pay their bills, not just based on their history with you, but on their wider financial situation.
In this initial phase, you'll also have to sort out some key financial details with us. You'll need to think about how many invoices you want to factor each month (which tells us how much readily available cash you need), what the advance rate and discount rate will be, and how quickly we'll get the advance to you.
Usually, the specifics of these details will change depending on how financially stable your customers are, how many sales you plan to factor each month, the type of business you're in, how long you've been in business, and what kind of risk your customers pose. For example, having a lot of high-risk clients will mean you pay more in factoring fees than if you mostly deal with slow-paying government agencies.
In our business, the more invoices you factor (in terms of dollar value), the better your rates. That's why it's all about volume.
We'll use the information you provide in your client profile to decide whether factoring is the right solution for your business. This involves balancing the potential risks against the benefits based on the information you've given us.
Once you get the green light, you can expect to discuss terms and conditions. These negotiations take various aspects of the deal into account. As a result, if you're looking to factor $10,000, you're not going to get as good a deal as a company factoring $500,000.
During the negotiation stage, you'll start to understand what it really costs to factor your accounts receivable. Once you've come to an agreement with us, we get the funding process underway. We do some research into your customers' credit and any liens against your company, and we also verify the authenticity of your invoice before we buy your receivables and give you the money.
We relieve your headaches and stress of collecting on accounts receivables.
You have 24/7 account access 365 days a year.
When you call, you get to speak to a real live person.
Don't wait long periods for a loan. Many of our factoring deals can take place in as little as 24 to 48 hours. If you need capital right now or are looking to expand then factoring is the way to go. We work on your time instead of you working on a bank's schedule.
If you need cash and you're sitting on a lot of unpaid invoices then factoring with us is the way to go. We'll give you the cash that your business needs and collect from your customers.
Debt is risky while at the same time being beneficial to growing a business. Start-ups can relieve themselves of the risk of debt and still create capital with factoring.
If you're a start-up or your business has a poor history or credit then you can still get the cash that you need. Today's banking atmosphere makes it a challenge for even the most-qualified businesses to get a loan. Factoring takes care of all of that.
Without a collections department or a small staff, collections often come down to you doing all of the leg work. Our Factoring Service will alleviate that burden and provide the service that you're not equipped to handle.
