Interstate Capital Answers the Question - Who Uses Factoring?

SANTA TERESA, N.M., Feb. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Lots of companies factor their invoices to get paid upfront for completed work: Big companies, small companies, new companies, old companies. Factoring promptly turns a company's accounts receivable into money in the bank without incurring debt, making this a very popular cash flow solution with all kinds of companies.

Any business-to-business company that delivers a product or service to another company can be a good candidate to take advantage of this financing strategy. If a company issues invoices and offers payment terms to their customers, that company can enjoy the benefits of invoice factoring. Companies in a variety of fields rely on factoring, including – but not limited to – the following industries:

• Trucking
• Manufacturing
• Staffing (office, janitorial, medical, IT, factory and other specializations)
• Health care
• Oilfield services
• Construction
• Wholesale/distribution/import-export
• Produce/agricultural and food products
• Government contracting

Who uses factoring? Millions of companies around the world. Financial consultants have seen that invoice factoring – or accounts receivable factoring as it is sometimes called – is especially cost-effective and productive when a company fits certain scenarios. Factoring is a common business tool for companies in the following situations:

• Fast-growing company lacking working capital to complete orders
• Small business needing back office solutions, such as collections, credit checking and real-time record-keeping
• New company with no credit history or business track record
• Company with customers that require long payment terms, up to 60 or even 90 days
• Company with seasonal ups and downs
• Company needing upfront money for expansion, new hires, R&D, construction
• Company that needs to purchase more equipment or inventory
• Company with no collateral
• Company with financial issues such as past-due taxes, certain kinds of liens and low credit scores
• Company that has been turned down for lines of credit or loans from banks

That last point is an important one. Since factoring applicants are evaluated on the creditworthiness of their customers rather than their own, companies with past financial challenges – but dependable paying customers – find that the doors to factoring are wide open. Since factoring bridges the financially risky gap between completing a job and getting paid for it, companies with cash flow difficulties can maintain operations and set aside funds for unexpected expenses and growth.

Regardless of a company's industry or financial situation, invoice factoring represents a reliable debt-free financing solution. The factoring specialists at Interstate Capital, one of North America's leading factoring firms, can help business owners decide if factoring is the right cash flow solution for their company.
