Invoice Factoring - How does it work?
A factoring provider lends against your customer invoices, this enables you to receive most of the invoice cash value immediately rather than waiting weeks or months to get paid.
The amount of finance available will typically be stated as a percentage of your outstanding debtor book or sales ledger, but may be constrained by specific terms such as limiting exposure to a single large customer.
Typically, payments from your customers will go into a bank account controlled by the factoring company, and your customers will be aware that you use factoring.
From the lender’s perspective, factoring is lower-risk because they’ll have more control over ensuring your customers pay you on time. Factoring is often what lenders favour for companies with low turnover, a short trading history, or other challenging circumstances.
