What is factoring?

Factoring is a service that allows a business to receive cash from their accounts or invoices before the invoices are due for payment.

It works like this: You get an invoice from your customer, but instead of waiting for the customer to pay you, you sell your invoices to Bankers Factoring. Afterwards, we pay you immediately and collect your unpaid receivables from customers over time. Thus, factoring is a fast method of injecting working capital into your business.

Factoring, also called invoice discounting or factor financing, is not a loan or line of credit with interest rates and monthly payments. You sell in invoices as an asset and receive fast cash flow. Eliminate waiting 30 and 60 days for your customers to pay by letting Bankers Factoring buy your invoices.

How to choose the right factoring company.

There are several factors to consider when choosing a factoring company:

● Is the factoring company well-established? How long has it been in business?
● Is the company a factoring broker, or do they perform the factoring services themselves? The latter is preferable. A broker can still be an excellent resource for finding appropriate partners but will not help you with your accounts receivable management on its own.
● What is the reputation of the factor in its industry? Do other companies use it and recommend it—or do you see online complaints about problems with this particular factor?
● Can your potential factor provide references from other companies who have used them successfully?
