1. Apply and Set Up
You share basic company details, a customer list and an accounts receivable aging report so we can review the customers you want to factor.
Sell your unpaid B2B invoices for cash now instead of waiting 30 to 90 days. Here is how invoice factoring works, what it costs, and who it suits.
Invoice factoring is the sale of an unpaid business-to-business invoice to a factoring company at a small discount. You deliver the work, bill your customer as usual, and then sell that invoice to us. We advance most of its value right away, collect payment from your customer on the original terms, and send you the remainder minus our fee once the customer pays.
Because you are selling an asset rather than borrowing, factoring does not add a loan to your balance sheet, and approval depends mainly on how reliably your customers pay. That makes it a practical source of working capital for companies whose growth is outrunning their bank's appetite. If you want the full sequence in more detail, our how it works guide walks through it.
The process is the same whether you factor one invoice or your entire ledger. Setup takes the longest; after that, each new invoice moves quickly.
You share basic company details, a customer list and an accounts receivable aging report so we can review the customers you want to factor.
You deliver goods or services and bill your customer exactly as you do today, with remittance directed to the factoring account.
You send the invoice with supporting paperwork. We confirm the invoice with your customer and process it within 48 hours.
Once processed, the advance of typically 80% to 90% can reach your account in as fast as 2 hours.
Your customer pays on their normal 30, 60 or 90-day terms, and we handle the follow-up so your team does not have to.
When payment arrives, we release the reserve balance to you minus the agreed factoring fee.
Both put cash in your account, but they are judged on different things and behave differently as your business grows. For a broader look at revolving credit, see invoice factoring vs. a line of credit.
| Feature | Invoice Factoring | Bank Loan |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | The sale of invoices you have already earned. | Borrowed money repaid with interest on a fixed schedule. |
| What approval depends on | Mainly the payment history and credit of your customers. | Your own credit, profitability, collateral and time in business. |
| How the amount is set | Rises and falls with the invoices you generate. | Fixed at approval; increases require a new application. |
| Time to first funding | Days for setup, then 48-hour processing per invoice. | Often several weeks of underwriting. |
| Balance sheet effect | Converts receivables to cash without adding debt. | Adds a liability and often restrictive covenants. |
Factoring fees are generally a small percentage of each invoice, roughly 1% to 5%, with rates starting at 1.2%. The fee you pay depends on how much you factor each month, how long your customers take to pay, the size of each invoice and the credit quality of the customers behind them. Faster-paying, well-rated customers cost less to factor.
We quote the fee up front, so you can compare it with the value of having the cash now: a supplier discount you can take, a payroll you can meet, or a contract you can accept. Whether the agreement is recourse or non-recourse also affects the price.
Factoring fits companies that sell to other businesses on credit terms. It is not designed for cash sales to consumers.
Sales are climbing faster than cash, and each new order widens the gap between paying costs and getting paid.
Large customers insist on net-60 or net-90 terms while your payroll and suppliers expect payment now.
You have creditworthy customers but not the operating history a bank wants, so approval based on their credit opens a door.
Cash needs spike during busy months, and factoring volume can rise and fall with them.
Trucking, construction, staffing, manufacturing and oil field services all carry heavy costs before the customer pays.
Setup is light compared with a bank application. We focus on your invoices and the customers who owe them, so we do not ask for a long credit history or multi-year tax returns. Our qualification guide explains what we look for.
