Invoice Factoring: Frequently Asked Questions
Invoice Factoring (also known as Factoring) is a financial service that allows you to receive funding against your outstanding invoices immediately. Instead of waiting for your customers to pay on their standard terms, you can access your working capital upfront.
This solution is ideal for businesses whose customers require long payment terms. It is also highly beneficial if managing customer payments and collections is consuming more administrative time than you would like to spend.
Since the funding is secured directly against your accounts receivable (the invoices), additional physical collateral is often not required. However, standard due diligence is conducted before any facility is approved.
Under a standard recourse factoring arrangement, you remain liable for the invoice. If a customer fails to settle the debt, you will be required to repay the advanced funding to the provider. Process & Timelines
