Accounts Receivable Financing / FactoringAccounts receivable financing, sometimes known as factoring, enables a company to better meet the daily operational demands of running a business. This financing program advances the business money on their outstanding invoices, allowing the company to have consistent cash flow. Inadequate cash flow is the number one reason why businesses fail. When to Use Accounts Receivable Financing / Factoring: Some primary examples of when to use AR Factoring financing are described below: - Companies in a high growth cycle needing consistent operating capital (cash flow) to fuel their growth
- Companies in survival mode needing consistent cash flow in order to fulfill their liabilities

- Companies looking for alternative debt-free financing solutions to build their credit and enhance their business

Why use Accounts Receivable Financing / Factoring: There are many benefits to factoring. The main is flexibility. With a bank loan, you are simply adding to your monthly liabilities, causing more of a cash flow crunch. With factoring, you are tapping into money that is already owed to you. You can get advances on all or just some of your invoices. You can even skip getting an advance on your invoices if needed. In addition, since you are not paying the bill, factoring financers care more about your customer's credit rating than your own, yet your credit as a company improves as you now have the cash flow to easily cover your own liabilities.
Below are other reasons why an AR Factoring program is a good tool to finance your business:
Increase operating capital (cash flow) Increase sales Increase profits Improve credit rating Pay bills promptly Buy inventory Purchase supplies and equipment Secure both new clients and/or larger clients
