Read The Entire Contract Before Entering Into An Invoice Factoring Arrangement

Many companies who are in a cash flow bind, either because of poor profitability or accelerated growth, need a financing option that isn?t dependent upon their credit standing or internal financial ratios. Factoring is the obvious choice for entities in this situation because the focus for underwriting is on the credit worthiness of the client?s customers.

It should be made clear to the client at the onset of the relationship that the factoring company typically expects invoices to be factored for a period of time, usually for a year. In other words, there is a minimum amount of fees that will be charged whether the company factors invoices or not.

This is not usually an issue, as most companies that take advantage of factoring tends to use the service for one to two years. At that point, they usually have found a way to secure other financing. Other companies, however, need only a ?shot in the arm? by a one-time infusion of cash. For those firms, factoring may not be for them. They will be charged fees during the contract period for services that aren?t being used. On the other hand, having a steady stream of cash by not having to wait 30-60 days to collect receivables can be advantageous.

It is incumbent upon the factoring company?s representatives to clearly explain how the factoring process works. It is also imperative that the client and/or their attorney to review the commitment letter and contract in its entirety so there will be no surprises.

Factoring Companies: Learn the Top 7 Financial Questions to Ask to Choose the Best One for Growth

A factoring company advances funds to your business based upon the dollar amount of your company's outstanding account receivables. With a quality factoring firm, you no longer have to wait to receive money owed to you by clients. Each accounts receivable factoring firm may charge different fees, though. Here are the high level questions to ask each company to find the best situation for your firm.

Ask the following questions of your prospective factoring companies:

1. Ask each invoice factoring company how they determine fees to spot the best deal.

The fees that you would pay to accounts receivable factoring companies are based on the financial strength and credit worthiness of your customers. Specifics include:

• How often you bill your customers,
• how long your customers have been in business and
• how quickly your customers pay your invoices.

2. Ask invoice factoring companies for a favorable advance rate and quickly increase your working capital.

When working with a factoring firm, you will submit outstanding invoices to them. They will then provide your business with cash based upon your "advance rate." Customary advance rates range from 75% to 90%, which means you would receive between $750 and $900 for each $1,000 of outstanding invoices submitted.

3. If an invoice factoring company offers you a "flat fee rate" ask about the implications and make the right choice for your business.

While flat fees may seem less complicated, the end cost can be substantially higher. With a flat-rate fee, the cost is the same whether the receivable is out for 10 or 60 days so, unless most receivables are out 45-60 days, the overall cost makes this type of rate more expensive.

4. Ask an invoice factoring company these questions about contract terms to avoid costly termination fees:

• Is there a contract term,
• how long would my contract term last,
• is there an early termination fee,
• is my contract automatically renewed if I don't cancel in writing and
• if so, how much advance notice to cancel do you require?

5. Not all receivables factoring companies are alike: ask potential partners if they work with all clients.

Some receivables factoring companies, for example, will not fund companies with a high concentration, i.e., if their business is dependent upon one or two clients. Other companies do consider clients with concentration and they usually examine risk levels to determine a rate.

6. Make a savvy financial decision: ask about specific fees charged by receivables factoring companies.

Ask prospective factoring firms about the cost of the:

• Application fee,
• Due diligence fees,
• Credit reporting fees,
• Background or lien search fees,
• Factoring company lock box fees,
• Minimum monthly volume fees,
• Charges to add a new receivables factoring client,
• Early termination fees from receivables factoring contract,
• Upfront advance fee and then an interest fee,
• Fee for same day advances,
• Monitoring fees,
• Automated clearing house (ACH) fees and
• Wiring fees.

Some invoice factoring firms have a flat rate fee that includes all services, except for the monthly Internet access report fee.

7. Ask how factoring companies calculate interest charges and choose the most favorable.

Some factoring firms begin charging interest as soon as an invoice is issued. Under this system, you could end up paying several more days' worth of interest than if your factoring company began charging interest on the date you receive funds. Also ask factoring companies if you can select what day of the week to receive your funds and pick what's best for your company.

Select a quality invoice factoring company now: get immediate funding to grow your business.

Now that you have the tools and knowledge to evaluate factoring companies, you can decide which factoring company will grow your business the fastest. Don't miss out on lucrative business opportunities because of poor cash flow any longer! Contact companies and get your factoring loans to get growing now.

Healthcare Staffing Factoring: How to Improve Your Cash Flow (Part One of Three)

In a world where it is becoming increasingly more difficult for a nurse staffing agency to receive timely payments from their customers, accounts receivable factoring can come to the rescue. Selling their invoices at a discounted rate, also known as factoring, gives healthcare staffing companies the money they need to help maintain and grow their staffing operations. Instead of waiting 30, 60, 90 days or longer for payment from their customers, factoring provides the cash needed to meet payroll, pay taxes, purchase software and/or increase staff. And all of this can be accomplished without increasing debt on a firm's balance sheet, which could limit future healthcare staffing financing alternatives. Healthcare staffing funding is best be utilized to bridge the gap between when an invoice is issued and when payment is received.

Another reason why nurse staffing agencies should look into selling their receivables is that factoring companies do not base their funding capabilities on a business owner's personal credit or even the company's credit history. Rather, companies providing healthcare staffing invoice factoring are most concerned with the creditworthiness of the nurse agency's clients, who are also called account debtors; to pay them after the invoice has been sold. A traditional bank, on the other hand, would be less concerned with the agency's customers. From a banker's perspective, it's the business owner's personal credit and the company's operating and financial history that will determine whether or not they would approve any loan amount.

With that said, there are literally thousands of factoring companies to choose from, all of which offer distinct advantages and disadvantages. The most important question to keep asking while searching for an accounts receivable factor is: "Will this factor best be able to meet my company's needs?"

Keeping that key question in mind, factors can generally be divided into three different operating categories. First, there are large factors that operate nationally and are able to fund clients across numerous different industries. These factors usually work out of multiple offices, and they are set up to cater to the needs of very large businesses. Because of their size and national presence, these factors are capable of funding almost any kind of company, from staffing to manufacturing to transportation. These factors are true generalists both across industries and geographic regions.

Then there are some factors that focus their operations in one specific geographic region. These smaller local factors have a home field advantage so to speak, in which their clients find comfort in the fact that their factor is literally around the corner. These factors will generally fund a wide variety of businesses; however they will all be concentrated in a definable geographic region.

The final category is comprised of factors that concentrate their funding in one specific niche (i.e., healthcare staffing invoice financing), offering a heightened level of industry expertise to their clients. Their customers are generally national in scope, but are focused on a small handful of industries. These factors' clients feel more comfortable knowing that their funder understands the unique characteristics of how their industry operates. PRN Funding is just one example of an industry-specific factor because we focus on healthcare staffing invoice funding, namely for medical staffing agencies, medical transcription services, medical coding companies and medical supply businesses.

The size of your business, the services/products that you provide and whom you sell to all play a part in choosing between the three types of factors. Whether or not you should go with a general or industry-specific factor, a national or a local one, one that funds larger companies or one who works with start-ups all depends on what you want for your own company. It all goes back to that original question, "Will this factor best be able to meet my company's needs?"

Stay tuned for the next article in this three-part series, which will discuss the differences in rates and fees among factors and teach you how to compare and contrast to find the best factor for your staffing business.

Credit Card Processing - Credit Card Factoring Solutions

Credit card processing is frequently one of the most problematic and overlooked issues for a business owner. An effective credit card factoring program can reduce many credit card processing problems by implementing appropriate cost-reduction strategies. Credit card factoring improvements can produce dual business benefits by both eliminating credit card processing problems and providing improved cash flow by enhanced management of business cash advance programs.

CREDIT CARD PROCESSING AND CREDIT CARD FACTORING SOLUTIONS: Reduce Credit Card Processing Costs Via the Credit Card Factoring and Business Cash Advance Process

As I noted in an earlier business loan article, for any business that accepts credit cards as a method of payment, a business cash advance (obtained through credit card factoring) is a critical working capital financing tool that is often overlooked. Even thriving businesses frequently need more working capital than they can borrow from a bank. However, what is typically even more overlooked by many business owners is the opportunity to reduce their credit card processing costs at the same time that they obtain a business cash advance via credit card factoring.

CREDIT CARD PROCESSING AND CREDIT CARD FACTORING SOLUTIONS: Key Problems to Avoid with Credit Card Factoring and Credit Card Processing

Credit card factoring is an important option to consider when a business is seeking short-term commercial loans, unsecured business loans and improved approaches to credit card processing services. Unfortunately there are a number of problems to be avoided with credit card processing and credit card factoring programs. As with any successful business financing strategy, there will typically be only a small number of commercial lenders who are effective at implementing the joint tasks of credit card processing and credit card factoring strategies properly.

Because of this, the prudent choice of an appropriate provider of credit card processing and credit card factoring is extremely important to any business owner that accepts credit cards. To help demonstrate which providers of credit card processing and credit card factoring to avoid, I have written an article which identifies ten key problems which should be avoided with credit card factoring and credit card processing.

CREDIT CARD PROCESSING AND CREDIT CARD FACTORING SOLUTIONS: How to Obtain The Best and Lowest-Cost Credit Card Processing Services

For business owners either unhappy with their current credit card processing services or simply wondering if cost improvements are viable, a credit card factoring program which eliminates all of the ten key problems noted above should be considered. One of the primary reasons for evaluating credit card processing and credit card factoring in this coordinated fashion is that the low-cost producers of the best business cash advance programs will almost certainly be using the best and lowest-cost producers of credit card processing services. In many cases, the best and lowest-cost providers of credit card processing are simply not available to the average business owner other than as part of a working capital management plan encompassing both credit card factoring and credit card processing.

CREDIT CARD PROCESSING AND CREDIT CARD FACTORING SOLUTIONS: Cost Reduction and Improved Cash Flow for Successful Working Capital Management

Business owners should not lose sight of the substantial total benefits which might accrue to their business by effectively combining credit card processing and credit card factoring services. As noted above, cost reduction and improved cash flow are primary goals of successful working capital management, and the proper coordination of credit card factoring and credit card processing should accomplish both of these difficult goals simultaneously.

How Factoring Receivables Can Help Your Business Grow

Do you have commercial or government clients? Working with commercial and government clients can be very profitable. However, these clients also tend to pay invoices in 30 to 60 days, which can drain your company?s working capital. Many times, these great but slow paying customers can drag your company?s performance down.

If your working capital is tied in slow paying customers, eventually you?ll have to start turning away new sales. Even worse, you may miss payroll or key supplier payments. Before long your company will be stuck in neutral or about to enter a death spiral. The solution, of course, is to obtain some working capital.

Going to the bank for business financing (e.g. a working capital business loan) is tricky and won?t work for most business owners. Banks usually require 3 years worth of financial statements, detailed business plans and will take months to make a decision. In the end, you may ? or may not ? get the capital you need. However, if your biggest challenge is that your customers take up to 60 days to pay their invoices, you should consider factoring your receivables.

Factoring receivables enables you get an advance on your slow paying invoices. This provides you with the necessary working capital to make new sales, meet payroll and pay rent. And as opposed to conventional bank financing, invoice factoring is easy to obtain and quick to set up.

Factoring financing is easy to use. It works like this: 1. You deliver your product/service to your customer

2. You submit the invoice to the factoring company for financing

3. The factoring company advances you up to 85% of the invoice as the first payment

4. Once your customer pays for the invoice, the remaining 15% is advanced, less a small service fee

Factoring services fees can range from 1.5% to 3% per month, depending on your business volume and other criteria.

There are a number of advantages to using factoring. For starters, it?s relatively easy to qualify for the service. The biggest requirements are that you work with reputable customers and run a good business. And it?s also easy to setup. Usually you can get financing in just a few days. All of these features make receivables factoring a great alternative for new and established companies.

How The Factoring Industry Works

One of the biggest problems in any growing business is the long delay it typically takes to get paid. It is not uncommon for it to take 60 to 90 days from the time a company completes a job or contract to the time when the company actually gets paid. Ninety days is almost an industry standard interval from receipt of a service or goods by a large commercial customer to the time that payment is sent out.

In the meantime, the companies' employees are expecting to get paid on time; which is usually weekly, and most of the operating expenses need to be covered on a monthly basis. Some of the bills even need to be paid right up front. It can be tough for a growing or new company to make ends meet before the 90 days are up and the payments start coming in.

To help cover this financial gap an industry called factoring has emerged. Let's use an example to explain how factoring works. Let?s say company A makes and sells super computers. They make a computer, sell and ship it to company B and soon after send out the bill for the computer. Now by standard industry practice, company B usually does not have to start making payments for 90 days. This is where factoring enters in. A third company, company C, is the factoring company. The factoring company is usually a financial institution or bank of some sort. The factoring company pays company A up to 85 percent of what is owed them by company B right up front then and there. They hold out a percentage, usually 15 percent, to cover any disputes that may arise between A and B. Once company B gets around to paying for the super computer, the payment gets sent directly to the factoring company. Company A never sees the check sent out by company B. Basically company A's accounts receivable are transferred to the factoring company. The factoring company then sends the 15 percent that was held out to cover disputes to company A, minus their factoring fee for all of this. The factoring fee is usually 1.5 to 2 percent. They basically cover company A for the payments that are owed them. They act as an intermediary between A and B to help smooth everything out financially.

Of course, a big consideration for the factoring company is the financial reliability of A and B. If B is very reliable and pays its bills on time, then the factoring company will probably give company A better factoring fee rates. If A's super computer is very reliable and never causes problems for its customers, then the factoring company will probably reduce the amount it holds out to cover disputes.

So why wouldn't company A simply borrow money from the bank? Actually, factoring is a specifically targeted way of borrowing money. Because it is an ongoing relation between A, B and the factoring company the rates are generally lower and the amount that A can borrow is generally more compared to a basic bank loan. Plus, it gives A more time to spend making super computers; and less time worrying about collecting bills.

How and When to Use Invoice Factoring

Do you have clients that take 30, 60 or even 90 days to pay their invoices? If you do, you are familiar with the strain that slow payments place on your company. Unless you have a reliable cushion of funds in the bank, paying suppliers and employees on time will be tough. And growing your business may be out of the question, at least temporarily, because growth requires cash.

Companies that have this predicament have a couple of options. They can get a bank loan or a line of credit. But those are tough to qualify for and very hard to obtain. A better alternative is to use invoice financing, better known as invoice factoring. As a tool, factoring invoices enables you to get paid in 2 days, rather than in 30, enabling you to operate and grow your business.

Factoring financing has many advantages over other products. First, factoring is relatively easy to obtain. Second, factoring financing lines are directly tied to your sales and have no arbitrary limits. That means that the more you sell, the more financing you can obtain.

When is it appropriate to use receivables factoring?

If any of the following two statements are true, then accounts receivable factoring should benefit your company.

1. You cannot afford to wait 30 to 60 days to get paid by customers. If your company's biggest problem is that you need your money sooner than the usual 30 to 60 days it takes for your clients to pay, then factoring is the ideal product for you. A factoring company can eliminate the wait and make your cash flow predictable.

2. You need money to pay suppliers or employees. Companies that need money to pay for ongoing expenses, such as employees or suppliers, can really benefit from invoice financing. Invoice financing will streamline cash flow and help you meet ongoing obligations. However, companies that need the funds to purchase equipment or to buy real estate will usually not benefit much from factoring. There are other products in the market that will be better.

Invoice financing is a great tool that can help make payments predictable. This allows you to plan for growth and enables you to capitalize on new and exciting growth opportunities.

Financing Your Business by Factoring Invoices

Waiting 30, 40 or even 60 days to get invoices paid can be a major challenge for any business owner. Although the work has been completed and delivered, the payment will come in weeks. In the meantime, the business has to pay employees, rent and regular expenses. If your business has a substantial cash reserve, this should not be a major problem.

But, what if your business doesn't have substantial cash reserve? Many owners will try to get a business loan. But that won't help. Why? Because getting a business loan is almost impossible unless the business owner has good credit and can prove three years worth of profitable business operations. Another option that is quickly gaining popularity involves factoring invoices.

Factoring financing allows you to eliminate the payment wait and gets your invoices paid in as little as two days. With invoice factoring you eliminate the uncertainty of when you'll be paid, which allows you to better manage and grow your business. Receivables factoring is easy to obtain and can be set up in days. Furthermore, if used properly accounts receivable factoring can work better that a business loan.

Here is how the factoring invoices works:

1. You deliver goods/services to your client

2. You sell the invoice to the factoring company

3. The factoring company pays you the 1st installment which can be as much as 90% of the invoice

4. Once your customer pays the invoice, the factoring company rebates you the 2nd installment, less the fees.

Since factoring companies buy your invoices, the biggest requirement to qualify for this type of financing is that you do business with customers that pay reliably. The cost of factoring will in large be determined by the volume of financing and the paying quality of customers. Generally speaking, the cost will range between 1.5% and 3.5% per month.

One big advantage of factoring over others types of financing is that there are no arbitrary limits or ceilings placed on your financing line. Whereas loans and lines of credit always have a "maximum", factoring has no maximums. Your factoring line will grow with your sales, provided you sell products to good paying clients.

So, if you are looking for a reliable way to finance your growing business, be sure to consider using a factoring service.

Cash to be received often hampers the smooth functioning of small and large companies and truck invoice factoring is a welcome relief from this.

Most companies for the purchase of invoices use certain criteria. The service fees vary from company to company. Credit history of the customer, amount in the invoice and total business volume are some the criteria used while purchasing an invoice and in determining the service fee. Before engaging in business with a company, truck invoice factoring companies check accounts receivable aging report, the credit limits of existing customers, and the company’s track record. Not satisfied with merely the company’s report on customer’s credit history, most truck invoice factoring companies engage in an independent enquiry about the customer’s credit history. Companies can also negotiate with truck invoice factoring companies once they meet all the qualities.

Through truck invoice and factoring, companies can save time and money and use work force spend on retrieving money from customers for other purposes. Almost all types of industries make use of truck invoice factoring. Truck invoice factoring is ideal for those companies that are on the path of expansion and those that needs to meet loan deadlines. Some factoring companies provide finance to start-up companies.
