Factoring – Government Contract Financing Process
- Generate an invoice based on work completed for government contracts
- Factor the invoice and get free same-day funding of the invoice amount (less factoring fee and reserve, or holdback)
- 30 (45 or even 90 days later), receive any amount held in reserve once the government agency has paid the invoice in full
Instead of waiting 1-2 months to get paid on government receivables, you can turn them into working capital immediately by factoring them with an invoice factoring company. Assuming a factoring fee of 3%, and an advance rate of 95%, here’s how it would work:
Day 1 – |
Generate $7,500 government invoice and factor it |
– Same Day |
You receive 95% advance of $7,125 by wire transfer or ACH |
|
Factoring company earns 3% factoring fee of $225 |
Day 30+ |
Factoring company waits on repayment of the government contract – you stay focused on your business! |
Benefits of Factoring Government Contracts
Expedited cash flow is the primary benefit vendors receive when they use invoice factoring as a government contract financing tool. In turn, expedited cash flow allows for faster reinvestment in growth and operations, and could be key for government suppliers that need working capital in order to:
- Purchase materials or supplies for the next contract or customer
- Bid competitively on future government contracts
- Fund payroll and operating expenses
- Avoid delays in meeting government contract deadlines
- Take on new business more quickly or fulfill larger orders
Using invoice factoring to speed up cash flow can even help an organization reduce expenses to become more profitable, since the working capital can be used to negotiate supplier discounts.
