Cash flow concerns continue to worry small business owners. A recent survey by the Washington-based National Small Business Association indicated that almost half (43%) of small businesses needed operating funds at some point during the last several years, but were unable to find acceptable sources.
Invoice factoring, or receivables factoring, is a proven, cost effective, and fast way for companies to access funds in time to stay current with payroll, meet tax obligations, pay overhead expenses, build strong business credit, and make solid decisions pertaining to the operation and growth of the business.
Invoice Factoring Basics
Factoring lets you sell your company’s receivables to a third–party, called a “factor” (MP Star Financial) for fast payment – sometimes the same business day, in exchange for very modest transaction fees.
Factoring improves cash flow and helps your business operate and grow without taking on additional debt.
But while the mechanics of the factoring transaction work basically the same way each time, every company’s situation is different. Factoring might be helpful to a start-up manufacturing company in one way, but might take on a completely different role for an established security services firm.
