1. Know what the term means. It’s a way to turn your accounts receivable into cash by selling them to a finance company called a factor.

2. Make sure you understand the fees you will pay for this service. They typically include the cost of funds and making the collections.

3. Balance the cost against the gain. Factoring can be expensive but it may fuel your growth, improve cash flow, or enable you to take advantage of supplier discounts.

4. Ask your bank or CPA to recommend factors. Check their references.

5. Visit www.cfa.com, the Web site of the Commercial Finance Association, and the International Factoring Association at www.factoring.org for a list of factors. The CIT Group site, www.cit.com, provides information on factoring (click on “Business Financing,” then “Commercial Finance,” to access the search feature).

Re: 5 Tips on Factoring

good information . . . thank you colin12 ... Factoring is a financing alternative in which firms lift up cash by selling their accounts receivable at a reduction from face value . . . for the most part factoring transactions made today actually are structured to be more like short-term loans with receivables pledged as collateral . . .

Re: 5 Tips on Factoring

here are huge advantages to factoring. You can focus on running your business not worrying whether your clients will pay you. Because your cash flow is more predictable, it will let you make better business decisions and plan growth strategically. And bad debts can become someone else’s problem.

Some factoring companies will also give you free credit information on your suppliers and clients.

Re: 5 Tips on Factoring

Unlike traditional bank financing, Factoring relies on the credit-worthiness of your customers, not you.

Re: 5 Tips on Factoring

Factoring boosts cash flow but there are costs and it reduces control over business finances.You have to pay extra to remove your liability for bad debtors and some customers may prefer to deal directly with you.
