Invoice Factoring Means Improved Cash Flow

How does invoice factoring affect cash flow?

There are very few forms of business finance that have been around as long as factoring, and yet invoice factoring (also known as invoice discounting, A/R factoring or receivables financing) is not part of the common business lexicon for most B2B small business owners in the U.S.

Invoice factoring is a centuries-old business financing tool that originated when bankers would provide manufacturers with an advance on goods so that manufacturers did not have to wait for products to travel to far-away lands before taking on new business.

According to Wikipedia: “Factoring is a financial transaction whereby a business sells its accounts receivable (i.e., invoices) to a third party – called a Factor – at a discount.”

The idea of invoice factoring might seem complicated, but it’s actually very simple. Accounts receivable are assets since they represent money that will – eventually – flow into an organization and which they can then reinvest in growing their business. Organizations choose to factor invoices with a company like Corsa Finance, instead of waiting for customers to pay, in order to expedite organizational cash flow.

How the process works to improve cash flow:

The biggest reason companies choose to factor invoices with a company like Corsa Finance is to unlock working capital tied up in invoices in order to expedite organizational cash flow. Companies that factor invoices with us receive same and next-day advances on invoices factored with us for a small fee called a factoring fee.

Expediting cash flow by factoring invoices can speed up business growth.

Sometimes businesses that invoice their customers wait weeks or even months to receive payment for invoices. So while they have assets on the books in the form of money owed to them via accounts receivable, they don’t actually have the ability to use that money to grow their business until the invoices have been paid.

Organizations that factor invoices with Corsa Finance pay just a small percentage to get access to 90% or more of the working capital that would otherwise be tied up in their accounts receivable on the same or next business day the invoice is factored.

That means that they have access to the working capital needed to meet payroll, fill the next customer’s order or money needed to take on bigger customers and larger orders, purchase equipment, expand inventory or services or execute other business growth strategies while we wait for the invoice to be paid, instead.
