CPAS, Lenders, Banks & Other Factoring Referrals
Maybe you’re an accountant and you have a client who needs an infusion of cash. Or perhaps you’re a business banker with a customer who is dealing with a cash flow crisis. You may be some other type of business service provider, such as a key supplier or a payroll specialist.
You have business clients who have hit a rough patch with regards to cash flow. We have solutions, let's partner.
No matter your role, when you’re in the business of helping other businesses, you know how important cash flow can be. Cash flow can often make all the difference when it comes to keeping the doors open and the lights on.
And sometimes, you may not have the tools necessary to help your business clients through difficult situations. That’s when it can be invaluable to have a relationship with an experienced factoring provider like Gateway Commercial Finance.
At Gateway, we offer factoring solutions to help businesses work through difficult cash flow periods. We can provide cash quickly, often in a matter of days. And because we’re a factoring provider, we are often able to provide funding to businesses who may not qualify for traditional lending.
Factoring Is The Solution
Factoring is a unique funding method in which a factoring provider advances a portion of an outstanding invoice. Generally, we’re able to provide up to 90 percent of an outstanding invoice in a matter of days.
The customer then pays the invoice amount directly to us. This is done confidentially through a discreet lockbox. From the paying customer’s perspective, they are making payment directly to the business that issued the invoice. The customer often doesn’t know that a third party is involved.
After the invoice is paid, we deduct the amount we advanced plus a small fee for our role in the process. We then forward the balance on to our client.
Invoice factoring is an effective way for companies to quickly obtain cash on their receivables. Additionally, we manage the collection process, which often saves our clients time. They no longer have to worry about calling on outstanding invoices or sending letters and emails to their customers about payment.
We understand how important the relationships are between our clients and their customers, so we always take great care to protect our clients’ reputations. We use a soft touch when communicating with customers about invoices. And we do everything under the client’s name, so the paying customer doesn’t become confused by having a third party involved.
Factoring is a great way for businesses to work through their cash flow challenges. In our more than 15 years of providing funding for companies, we have found that businesses experiencing one or more of the following symptoms tend to benefit the most from factoring solutions:
- Rapid Growth
- Loss of significant customer
- Forbearance with lender
- Inadequate Capitalization
- Poor Personal Credit
