Invoice factoring is a financial solution that allows businesses to convert their unpaid invoices into immediate cash. Instead of waiting 30, 60, or even 90 days for customers to pay, you can access up to 97% of the invoice value within 24 hours.

How Does Invoice Factoring Work?

The process is straightforward:

1.

You deliver goods or services to your customers and issue invoices as usual.

2.

You submit invoices to a factoring company like Factoring Express.

3.

You receive an advance — typically 80-97% of the invoice value within 24 hours.

4.

Your customer pays the factoring company directly when the invoice is due.

5.

You receive the remainder minus a small factoring fee.

Who Uses Invoice Factoring?

Invoice factoring is particularly popular among:

•

Trucking and transportation companies who face long payment cycles from brokers and shippers

•

Staffing agencies that need to meet weekly payroll before clients pay

•

Healthcare providers waiting on insurance reimbursements

•

Government contractors dealing with slow-paying agencies

•

Any B2B business with creditworthy customers but cash flow challenges

Factoring vs. Traditional Loans

Unlike bank loans, invoice factoring:

•

Doesn't create debt on your balance sheet

•

Doesn't require perfect credit — approval is based on your customers' creditworthiness

•

Scales with your business — the more invoices you have, the more funding you can access

•

Provides faster funding — often within 24 hours vs. weeks for bank loans

Is Invoice Factoring Right for Your Business?

Invoice factoring might be a good fit if you:

•

Have reliable B2B or B2G customers

•

Experience cash flow gaps due to slow-paying customers

•

Need capital to fuel growth without taking on debt

•

Want a flexible funding solution that grows with your business
