Understanding Factoring: A Financial Solution for Your Business
Summary
Are you in need of working capital? Discover how factoring can provide your company with the financial flexibility it requires.What is Factoring?
When selling to commercial clients, it's common to offer payment terms of 30 to 60 days. Simply put, you deliver your products or services now, but your client pays later. This delay can create a financial strain for small and midsize businesses that need to cover expenses such as rent, payroll, and supplier payments immediately.
Many businesses face this dilemma without having large cash reserves. Banks often don't lend to businesses unless they have a history of three years of profitability and substantial collateral. If traditional bank financing isn't an option, factoring might be the solution for you.
How Factoring Works
Factoring serves as a financial tool for businesses that can't wait 30 to 60 days to receive payment from their clients. It provides the necessary funds to meet your operational expenses promptly. Unlike bank loans, qualifying for factoring is straightforward, requiring that you have a profitable business along with a strong list of clients. Your invoices serve as the primary collateral for the factoring company.
The process is simple: factoring allows you to receive a significant portion of your invoice value, usually within a day of invoicing. This service reduces your waiting period to get paid from 60 days to just a couple of days. Typically, the transaction occurs in two parts:
1. The Advance: You receive 70% to 90% of the invoice's value right away.
2. The Reserve: The remaining 10% to 30% is kept as a reserve to cover any potential disputes. Once the invoice is fully paid by the client, the reserve, minus a small fee, is returned to you.
The Benefits of Factoring
Factoring is an excellent option for growing businesses that can't afford to wait for client payments. It helps you stabilize your finances and position your business for growth by providing immediate cash flow.
