Accounts receivable factoring turns invoices and accounts receivable to cash or lines of credit and effectively delegates your bill collection activities elsewhere.

How Does Accounts Receivable Factoring Work?

  • factoring step arrow factoring step 1

    A business sells its invoices at a discount to receive a cash advance within a couple of days instead of waiting 30 to 90 days for a customer to pay the invoice.

  • factoring step arrow

    The invoices are used as collateral in the factoring arrangement. The financing company gives the business an amount equal to a reduced value of the unpaid invoices or receivables.

  • factoring step 3

    When the invoices or receivables are paid, all amounts advanced, plus the discount and associated fees, go to the finance company and the remainder goes to the business.

This is the process of factoring, and may be repeated as often as needed.
