New Customer Credit Checks
Before you accept a large order or a new account, we review its payment history and credit standing so you can set sensible terms.
Vet customers before you extend terms, then let a professional team handle follow-up on invoices in a way that protects the relationship.
Every time you ship goods or send a crew out on net-30 or net-60 terms, you are extending credit. Most small and mid-sized businesses do it on instinct, because they have no time or tools to dig into a new customer's payment record. That works until a large account pays 90 days late or not at all, and the loss wipes out months of margin.
As part of invoice factoring, we review the credit of the customers you invoice and handle collections on factored accounts. You get an informed view before you take on a new account, and your team stops spending afternoons chasing remittances. If protection against customer insolvency matters to you, read about non-recourse factoring.
Credit and collections support is built into the factoring relationship rather than sold as a separate debt-collection product.

We indicate how much exposure to a single customer looks reasonable, helping you avoid concentrating risk in one account.
Changes in a customer's payment behavior across the invoices we handle can flag problems before they become losses.
Confirming invoices with customers up front reduces disputes and speeds up payment later.
Timely, polite reminders on outstanding invoices, handled by people who understand B2B payment cycles.
Clear visibility of what has been paid, what is due and which accounts are slowing down.
Collections inside a factoring relationship are about managing current receivables with customers you want to keep. A collection agency is usually brought in once an account has already gone bad.
| Feature | Factoring Collections | Collection Agency |
|---|---|---|
| When it starts | From the day the invoice is issued and verified. | After an account is seriously past due. |
| Tone | Routine, courteous follow-up that protects the relationship. | Recovery-focused, often after the relationship has broken down. |
| Credit review | Customers are vetted before and during the relationship. | Usually none; the agency works on debts already owed. |
| Cash flow impact | You are advanced 80% to 90% of the invoice while collection happens. | No cash until money is recovered, if it is recovered. |
| Cost | Included in the factoring fee, generally 1% to 5% per invoice. | Often a significant percentage of whatever is recovered. |
Owners often worry that bringing in a factor will put off customers. In practice, most accounts payable departments deal with factoring companies regularly and simply update the remittance address. What matters is the tone: clear invoices, prompt verification and respectful follow-up that treats your customer as your customer.
We keep you informed when an account is slowing down, and we escalate only in consultation with you. That lets you decide when to step in personally, adjust terms, or pause new orders. For a look at how risk is shared when a customer does not pay, see recourse vs. non-recourse factoring.
