How to finance your business through invoice factoring What is invoice factoring? Invoice factoring is a tool that provides quick financing to institutions with slow-paying clients and therefore suffers cash flow shortages. How does it work? Invoice factoring offers immediate working capital by financing your invoice to a creditworthy commercial client. You need a factoring company which intermediates your invoices. Once you invoice the client, the factoring company advances money to your business using the invoices as security. The company sells the invoices to a factor which purchases them at a discount. The general rate is 70-90% of the full value of the invoices. The company is then offered money, which is usually given in cash. After the factoring company collects on the invoices, money is returned minus a fee. Once the client pays in full on the regular schedule, the transactions between the factor and the company closes. What if I need it urgently? You can get this type of funding in a few days if all goes according to plan. A quote and a proposal can be obtained…
