14 Reasons To Factor

2. Factoring is faster than a bank loan. The documentation is straightforward

3. Factoring company acts as your Receivables Management company, providing real time status of your outstanding invoices. They will be in charge of collections.

4. The Business can concentrate on Sales and Marketing instead of chasing up unpaid invoices.

5. Factoring companies will do credit checks on your customers and warn you of potentially high risk customers.

6. Faster incoming cash flow to meet overheads plus capital investments either by way of outright purchase or equipment leasing. If leasing, then guaranteed cash flow will help the business calculate lease payments.

7. The business can choose which invoices to factor, how much they want in factored funds and for how long. Alternatively they can factor all invoices indefinitely.

11. Accounts Receivables become an immediate liquid asset, instead of a contingent asset on the Balance Sheet.

12. Factoring reduces the amount of Bad Debt which appears on the Balance Sheet.
