The Power of Distributor Factoring Services
Distribution is not an easy business. Managing customer expectations, supplier realities, and logistics takes a special talent. To add to this ballet, the critical timing and management of cash flow is the music that makes it all work. Dealing with slow-paying clients can feel like a never-ending struggle. You pay your suppliers upfront, cover the shipping and other operational expenses, and then wait—sometimes for 30, 60, 90, or even 120 days—before you see a customer payment. It’s enough to make anyone’s head spin!
If you’re tired of dealing with cash flow issues, there’s a simple and accessible financial solution: distributor factoring services!
When Opportunity Knocks...
When Wendy Nelson needed additional support to fulfill an order from one of the world’s largest retailers, she had to act quickly to meet her customer’s deadline. “We’re a seven-year-old importer of recreational pool products. When the eight-hundred-pound gorilla came to us after their primary supplier filed bankruptcy we had to act quickly if we wanted the relationship. This posed significant challenges as our supplier was unwilling to grant us the necessary increase in our line of credit and our bank was incapable of extending any more.
Thankfully, our banker recommended Gateway, who worked tirelessly with our supplier to issue the necessary guarantees to get production started. Without Gateway, we would have lost out on a very lucrative relationship”.

The Struggles of a Distribution Company
Let’s face it: running a distribution business presents its fair share of challenges. We know the typical pain points that companies in the distribution industry commonly face:
Cash Flow Crunches
You’ve got suppliers to pay, employee salaries to manage, new orders to fulfill, warehouse expenses, carrier payments, and if your clients are slow paying, you’re left in a lurch. Your outstanding invoices can prevent you from fulfilling existing orders, taking on new business, timely delivery, and growing your company.
Supplier Relationships
When you can’t pay your suppliers promptly, it strains essential relationships. You might miss early payment discounts or favorable terms, ultimately hurting your bottom line.
Limited Growth Opportunities
With insufficient cash flow, investing in new product lines, expanding your inventory, or taking advantage of bulk purchasing opportunities is not easy. Cash shortages can stunt your growth and put you behind your competitors.
High Transportation Costs
Shipping costs are already expensive; not paying your carriers can jeopardize your loads as they wait at the port.
Now that we’ve identified the challenges let’s discuss how factoring for distributors can turn those struggles into strengths!
How Distributor Factoring Can Help
Accounts receivable factoring can help distributors manage cash flow by turning unpaid invoices into cash, bridging the gap between supplier payments, logistics, payroll, and customer collections.
Distribution factoring reduces credit risk, supports growth, and improves working capital without adding debt, providing distributors with the financial flexibility they need to navigate everyday challenges.
Immediate Cash Flow
With invoice factoring, you can get up to 85-90% of your open accounts receivable amount within hours. This means you don’t have to wait for clients to pay their invoices. Instead, you can keep your operations running smoothly and take on new orders without the concern of having adequate working capital.
Enhance Supplier Negotiations
Cash readily available allows you to negotiate better credit terms with suppliers. You can pay them early or in full, strengthening those relationships and earning you discounts and more favorable payment schedules.
Seize Growth Opportunities
With improved cash flow, you’re in a better position to invest in new products and expand your inventory. You can seize opportunities that come your way without worrying about how to finance them.
