How much money will I get through factoring my accounts receivable?
Funding sources typically will advance your business 70% to
85% of the amount you wish to factor, with the remaining balance
(less the discount fee) paid upon receipt of payment of the
receivable. For example: if you have a $100,000 invoice you
submit for factoring. You could receive up to $85,000 in advance
of working capital, with the remaining balance to paid to you,
less the discount fee, when the invoice is paid to the funding
source.
|
 |
How long will it take before I receive funding?
Once your account is established funding can take place immediately.
Medical Receivables are usually funded within 4-days. Commercial
Receivables are usually funded within 48 hours, and Construction
Receivables are usually funded between 5 to 10 days.
|
 |
How much are the discount fees to fund my receivables?
They vary depending on the type of receivable, the amount, the
volume and frequency, the assign ability, collect ability, solvency,
and credit worthiness of your customer. In general, discount
fees are no higher than those charged by a credit card company
to process your merchant card transactions, and in some cases
are much lower with higher amounts and volumes being factored.
|
 |
Can I factor my consumer receivables?
At this time, only Patient Receivables (excluding co-pays),
in the Medical Field can be funded.
|
 |
Will you collect my old accounts for me?
No. Think of it this way: When you go to the bank for a loan,
the bank will not collect your receivables for you. All they
care about is that you pay the loan back. They don’t care
where you get the money, so long as you pay the loan back. The
Funding Source that purchases your receivables, (your private
banker), is just that, a funding source. They are not a collection
agency. However, the funding source will work with you and notify
you regarding late payments or non-performing accounts. Funding
sources are very concerned and cognizant not to interfere with
your relationship with your customers. In this manner, you continue
to maintain control over your billing and collections process,
thus, maintaining a strong and healthy relationship with your
customer. Funding sources are not a substitute for a good collection
agency.

What if some of the accounts I factor get old?
Oftentimes, your customers will pay more promptly due to the
fact that you are taking advantage of Accounts Receivable Funding.
In fact, you’ll be surprised at how many of your customers
become interested in factoring their receivables when they find
out about your new “Cash Flow Management” process,
and that you don’t have to wait for your money any longer,
and neither do they! For those accounts that do fall behind,
the funding source will contact you regarding late payments
or non-performing accounts. This allows you to contact your
customer and discuss the situation and establish a plan of action
that is agreeable to your customer, the funding source and you.
In this manner, you continue to maintain control over your billing
and collections process, thus, maintaining a strong and healthy
relationship with your customer.

 |
Are there any other benefits to factoring?
Yes. Besides the increase in Cash Flow with “NO”
debt, the funding sources supply you with regular reports, and
in most cases, you can go on-line and view your account to see
which invoices or medical claims have been paid and which ones
are still outstanding. This allows your collections department
to stay informed and up to date, with the ability to react “quickly”
to slow payments or non-performing accounts. Accounts Receivable
Funding will reduce your Collection Period to within 2 to 4
days (Construction Receivables average 5 to 10 days). Accounts
Receivable Funding will increase your profits in many ways such
as, taking advantage of vendor discounts on a consistent basis,
increasing inventory to meet increased demand, auditing CPT
Codes and finding under-paid claims in the Medical Field, supplementing
and enhancing your billing & collections department, reducing
administrative costs, supplying a steady, consistent level of
working capital, and many more benefits.

Will factoring my invoices hurt my customer relationship?
No. Funding sources are very concerned and cognizant not to
interfere with your relationship with your customers. They understand
the sacrifices and great lengths you’ve gone to in establishing
your relationship with your customer. In addition, our goal
as well as the funding source is to build relationships for
repeat business. Funding sources want repeat business. They’re
not going to do anything to jeopardize your relationship with
your customer. Also, factoring your invoices acts as a Quality
Control Measure. If one of your customers has experienced a
problem with doing business with you, they are quite likely
to mention it to the funding source, at which time; the funding
source will relay those comments to you. In this way, you can
respond to keep your customer happy. You’ll be surprised
at how many of your customers become interested in factoring
their receivables when they find out about your new “Cash
Flow Management” process, and that you don’t have
to wait for your money any longer, and neither do they! Remember,
80% of the Fortune 500 companies now incorporate Accounts Receivable
Funding into their Financial Success Formula.
|
 |
What if there is a bankruptcy, bad credit, poor financials or
other derogatory information in my company’s or my history?
Generally, there is no problem. Credit worthiness mainly focuses
on your customer, the one who generated the receivable. Funding
sources provide capital based on the credit worthiness, solvency
and longevity of your customer rather than on your business.
|
 |
Must my business meet net worth, profitability, debt-coverage,
years in business or other financial ratio requirements?
No. As discussed in the answer above, the funding source looks
through your business at the credit-worthiness of your customers.
|
 |
If I factor, can my business still borrow money from other sources?
Yes! That is a “huge” advantage of factoring your
receivables. The funding source only takes a security position
in your accounts receivable. Your plant, equipment, inventory,
intellectual property, other property, etc., are unencumbered
and available as collateral for other lenders. Remember, a bank
almost always takes a security interest in your assets; which
means that you cannot borrow from any other source since you
have no collateral to offer another lender. Factoring incurs
"NO" debt!
|
 |
What if my business has already borrowed from a bank, can I
still sell my Accounts Receivable?
Yes, and No. If your bank has a secured position on your accounts
receivable, sometimes they will subordinate their interest to
the funding source. If they will not subordinate their interest
to the funding source, the funding source will work with them
to try to work out other arrangements. If the bank won’t
subordinate their interest to the funding source or is unwilling
to work out other arrangements, then factoring your receivables
is not available until the debt is repaid to the bank and they
release their secured interest in your receivables. |
