FAQ's:
DID
YOU KNOW THAT YOUR OUTSTANDING RECEIVABLES ARE
WORTH CASH TODAY?
Accounts receivable factoring,
which is also referred to as Invoice Factoring,
is a financial service that allows a business
to sell its outstanding receivables to a specialized
financial institution called a Factor. Your
company will then receive immediate funding for
a small factoring fee. If your business sells
products or services to other businesses or governments
on credit terms, you have the option to factor
your receivables and eliminate the long billing
cycles that put a strain on your cash flow. Learn
how this financial service can help your business
whether you are growing fast or just struggling
to survive.
Initial funding is typically
available between 5 to 7 business days upon receipt
of completed formal agreements, and then all future
advances are funded within 24 hours. Account receivable
factoring does not create a financial liability
on your company’s balance sheet. Factoring
allows quick access to working capital instead
of waiting 30, 60, or 90 days to receive payment
from your customers. Unlike traditional bank financing
invoice factoring relies on the financial strength
and credit worthiness of your customers instead
of your credit history. You can use invoice-factoring
services as much as you want or as little as you
want. Whether your monthly invoices are $10,000.
or $1,000,000 your business can benefit from invoice
factoring.

Questions Answered:
Q. When I use-factoring services,
where does my customer send the payment and whom
is the payment written to?
A. The payment is mailed to the
Factor, and the check is written to the Factor.
The Factor is the collector of the receivable.
Q. How will my customer know
to send the invoice payment to the factor?
A. When you open a factoring
account, your company will send a letter to your
customer identifying the factoring company and
ask to accept the requests for payment on your
behalf. Afterwards, the factoring company will
send letters to your customer asking them to redirect
payment for each invoice you choose to factor.
Q. What will be the impact on
my customer, and how might it change our existing
relationship?
A. The only difference to your
customer is where to send the payment and whom
the payment is made out to. In fact, your customer
relationship will most likely improve with factoring
services. You no longer have the uncomfortable
task of collecting payment from your customers;
the factoring company will now assume that roll
as an independent third party. Now you can keep
your conversations with your customers strictly
about business and leave the topic of collecting
payments to the factoring company.
Q. How does the factoring company
communication with my customers?
A. The factoring company communicates
to your customer through letters and telephone
calls as your accounts receivable management service.
The letters ask your customers to redirect invoice
payments and the phone calls are only to verify
the existence of an invoice. Should your customer
begin to default on payments, the factoring company
will raise the issue with you first before speaking
to your customers.
