How the Alcohol Industry Factoring Process Works

Alcohol industry factoring solves cash flow issues that arise when a beer, wine, or spirits beverage producer or distributor makes a business-to-business sale and invoices their customer. They often wait weeks – or even months – for the customer to pay. By factoring customer orders instead, they eliminate the time spent waiting for customers to pay and get immediate access to the working capital represented in the invoice amount.

Overview of the beer, wine, and spirits invoice factoring process:

Day One:
Generate an invoice and factor it. Get a same day advance of up to 95% of the invoice amount in exchange for a low factoring fee – your factoring rate could be as low as 5%, or even lower.

Day 30-60-90+:
The customer pays the invoice and any amount held in reserve (the difference between the advance amount and the factoring fee) is also returned to your business.

Beer, Wine and Spirits Invoice Factoring Scenario

The Best Washington Wine company (BWW) is an established wine producer whose latest wine releases captured the admiration of wine critics and the attention of a big box retailer. After doing in-store tastings, the big box retailer places a large order from BWW for three of wines they plan to release in the fall.

Although BWW has substantial assets on the books in the form of unpaid customer invoices, they need to access the working capital tied up their largest accounts receivable invoice immediately, in order to obtain the bottling supplies and pay for the manpower that will be needed to fulfill the big box retailer’s upcoming order.

BWW factors a customer invoice in the amount of $12,000, gaining immediate access to 95% of face value of the invoice. Cash in hand, they are able to purchase the supplies needed to fulfill larger orders and keep their current customers happy, too.
