Service Factoring Provides Cash Flow Financing Even in Times of Crisis
When a small business or entrepreneur suddenly takes on contracts that can grow the company, the availability of working capital is extremely important.
A service provider has a long list of ongoing expenses that need to be covered immediately. Unfortunately, payments from customers do not come that fast. Most commercial businesses have to provide their clients, especially to large companies, at least one or two months of credit terms. This leaves them in a complicated situation dealing with working capital financing issues while waiting to receive their money.
There is no time to deal with the red tape that is associated with getting working capital from a traditional lender. A cash flow financing solution that can quickly take advantage of the receivables newly generated is the key to survival and success.
When to Get a Bank Loan?
Banks are an excellent option when your management team does not need funding right away. Traditional financing services also have several requirements that most entrepreneurs or startups cannot fulfill. These musts typically include a great credit score, strong financial information, and the ability to provide personal guarantees.
When a new contract requires immediate financial help to support operations your best option will likely come from a factoring company and the invoices that you are waiting to collect.
If you b2b company does not have the resources required to get a bank loan or a line of credit, factoring services may be your best chance at accessing steady capital.
Our commercial service factoring company can work with you to set up your factoring account in only a few business days. Once your account is set up, we can process receivables right away and provide you cash flow regularly to support your growing operations.
Let’s learn more about service factoring
By definition, factoring is the sale of your business’ outstanding invoices at a discount. Factoring helps shorten the billing cycle of service providers that normally give their customers 30 to 90-day terms to pay. Factoring provides a quick working capital boost. The reliable cash flow that factoring delivers can be used to purchase supplies or pay any type of operating costs. It’s also commonly used for payroll funding.
Invoice factoring is not a loan. If your debtor pays the full amount when it is due, there’s no liability from your part. If the receivable becomes delinquent the factor will charge-back the amount advanced to you unless you have a non-recourse factoring agreement and credit protection insurance.
Stop waiting for collections to unlock your capital. Take advantage of all the benefits that invoice factoring offers.
Factoring provides working capital to large and small businesses in a wide variety of industries such as:
- Janitorial & cleaning
- Pest control
- Repairs & maintenance
- Security guard services
- Marketing
- Professional services (e.g. management & accounting firms)
- Public relations & advertising agencies
- Manufacturing engineering
- Trucking & freight
- Staffing agencies
- Government contracts
- And many other service providers.
The factoring process is pretty simple
Step one – Provide the services and bill your customers giving them 30 to 90-day payment terms.
Step two – Submit the receivables to your factor. Once the invoice is approved and verified the factor will advance you a large percentage of the invoice’s face value (average 80 to 90%).
Step three– When the debtor pays, the factor discounts the money advanced deducts the factoring fees and transfers the remainder to your bank account. That easy!
About the cost of invoice factoring
You will pay two types of factoring fees to unlock the capital trapped in your invoiced sales:
- Financing fees calculated by multiplying the invoice value by pre-agreed rate. Rates usually go from 1 to 3% per month.
- Administrative costs, not based on the money received, such as wire and mailing fees.

Service factoring FAQ
What can the factoring proceeds be used for?
There are no limitations to the use of funds. Your business can use the working capital that your factor provides to pay for ongoing expenses such as rent, utilities, vehicle repair, tolls, fuel, materials to fulfill orders, employee payroll, miscellaneous vendor bills, etc.
Is receivable factoring the same as receivable financing?
No. Receivable financing (a.k.a. invoice financing) is an asset-based loan that uses your invoices as collateral.
Receivable factoring is not a loan. It does not add debt to your ledgers and does not require monthly payments to the factor from your part.
