Big-box and chain retail terms
National retailers often dictate long payment terms, and the bigger the order, the longer you float it.
Texas Wholesale and Distribution Factoring
Restock faster and take bigger orders. Texas wholesalers and distributors can turn net-30 to net-60 retail invoices into cash for inventory.

Wholesale and Distribution Factoring in Texas
Distribution is a working-capital business. You pay suppliers on short terms, often on delivery or within a few weeks, then extend 30, 45 or 60-day terms to retailers, contractors and resellers. Your money spends most of its life either sitting in inventory or waiting in accounts receivable.
Factoring frees the receivables half of that cycle. Once goods have shipped and been invoiced, most of the invoice value can be advanced, so you can pay suppliers, claim early-payment discounts and buy stock for the next order. Larger customers stop being a cash risk and start being a growth opportunity.
- Advances typically 80% to 90% of shipped and invoiced orders
- Factoring limits from $100K to $100M for high-volume distributors
- Rates starting at 1.2%, quoted up front
- Approval leans on your customers' credit, not long financial history
- No start-up fees and no month-to-month contracts
Where Distributors Feel the Squeeze
These patterns show up across building products, industrial supply, consumer goods and specialty distribution.
Supplier discounts you cannot claim
Many manufacturers offer a discount for early payment. Factoring can make that discount reachable.
Seasonal inventory builds
You buy months ahead of peak demand and get paid well after it. Factoring smooths that curve.
Chargebacks and deductions
Retail deductions slow cash further. Clean documentation and professional collections help keep them in check.
Freight and warehouse costs
Inbound freight, storage and delivery charges are paid now, while customer payments land later.
Factoring vs. an Inventory Line of Credit
Many distributors consider an asset-based or inventory line first. Both can work, and some businesses use both. Here is how they typically differ.
| Feature | Invoice Factoring | Inventory Line of Credit |
|---|---|---|
| What is financed | Invoices for goods already shipped | Inventory on hand, often at a deep discount to cost |
| Typical advance | Usually 80% to 90% of the invoice value | Often a much lower percentage of inventory value |
| Approval focus | Your customers' payment strength | Your financials, inventory audits and collateral |
| Reporting burden | Invoices and an aging report | Regular borrowing-base certificates and field exams |
| Scaling with sales | Rises automatically as invoiced sales grow | Requires renegotiation to increase |
Say Yes to the Bigger Purchase Order
The order that doubles your volume is also the one that can empty your bank account. Factoring lets you fill it with confidence, because the invoice it produces becomes cash shortly after the goods ship. If you need help paying the supplier before shipping, purchase order financing can cover that earlier step.
Fees are generally 1% to 5% of each invoice, depending on volume and customer payment habits. Choose to factor only your slow-paying retail accounts, or your full book, and adjust as the business changes. Distributors that import goods may also find our import and export factoring page useful.
