Invoice Factoring for Immigrant-Owned Businesses

Immigrant-Owned Business Invoice Factoring

Bankers Factoring Company for Immigrant-Owned Start-Ups

When moving across the world with their hopes high and ready to start the next chapter of their life, many immigrants want to start a new business and create new opportunities in the USA. But when traditional funding seems impossible to receive, and the odds feel against you, this can be difficult. Business grants for immigrants and loans for immigrants exist but are not big enough for B2B or B2G companies.

Immigrants play a huge role in small business growth in the US per Inc magazine.

However, when you are not able to receive traditional funding or a business line of credit, this is not the end of the line for you as an immigrant entrepreneur.

We also have funding programs for women-owned businesses and startup businesses.

What is Immigrant-Owned Business Factoring or A/R Factoring?

When your business sells your product or service to your customer, you are often stuck waiting with 30-90 day payment terms. This creates problems where financial obligations need to be met now, and invoice factoring is a financial tool that addresses and remedies these problems.

An A/R factoring company, like Bankers Factoring, will buy your invoice and provide you with an 80-93% cash advance. The factoring company will then take over collecting payment from your customer, and once the payment has been received, the rest of the invoice will be issued to you. This bridges the gaps in cash flow that slow payment creates, providing working capital to your business. Anywhere where cash flow is needed, payments are able to be covered with ease.

How Does Invoice Factoring Provide Capital Accessibility to Immigrants?

Immigrant-owned businesses are important. In the United States, they can be found in every aspect of the economy. According to the Small Business Administration, roughly 18% of U.S. businesses with employees are immigrant-owned, as well as 23% of U.S. businesses without employees.

When moving across the world and working to support your business, in many ways, you are starting over and creating something entirely new. This can make it difficult to get your business off the ground, and when your company needs funding assistance, many solutions may prove to be inaccessible. However, invoice factoring, as an alternative funding solution, may have the answer to the funding problems you are facing.

Funding Problems Immigrants May Encounter, and How Invoice Factoring Helps.

• Little or no access to collateral

Bank loans often require collateral when businesses are applying for a loan. This may include items like real estate, inventory, securities, personal guarantees, and more – all things that new immigrants typically do not have access to. With bank loans, if the debt is unable to be paid, collateral acts as insurance to the bank, and these items will be seized. However, invoice factoring with Bankers Factoring has no need for collateral.

With Bankers Factoring, we provide bad debt protection by using non-recourse factoring, meaning that if your customer is unable to pay their invoice, we absorb this risk of non-payment and absorb the credit risk. Because of this, any potential for your business to be in debt from non-payment is eliminated, we have no need for collateral from you, and you are protected from being in bad debt. Because there is no need for collateral, immigrant-owned businesses have access to funding from invoice factoring even when collateral is not available.

• May not have any credit history

When new to the country, many immigrants do not have a strong credit history. A strong credit history takes years to build up, and a new immigrant simply does not have strong credit built in the USA. The approval process for bank loans often includes credit checks, making being approved for a bank loan difficult to impossible for immigrants. However, invoice factoring does not use credit checks on your business and instead uses credit checks on your customers.

When getting approved with Bankers Factoring, we will be checking your client’s creditworthiness and credit reports, and your credit score will not be considered during this process. When you are a new immigrant, it can be stressful trying to build your credit score in a short amount of time, all while in an entirely new environment. Bankers Factoring eliminates this need when it comes to funding, providing you and your business the ability to put these worries of credit scores aside. You may feel like the underdog, but there is every reason that you can succeed.

Can Undocumented Immigrants Start a Business?

Immigrant-Owned Business Invoice Factoring

When it comes to the United States of America, there is no clear-cut answer to this question. While being an undocumented immigrant in the U.S. is not legal, there are no specific laws barring undocumented immigrants from starting businesses. However, this does not necessarily mean that the door is open for undocumented immigrants to start businesses.

While there is no specific law banning undocumented immigrants from starting businesses in the U.S., there are still many legal penalties that can be encountered, and if you are undocumented, the best course of action is always to consult an immigration lawyer about your situation. 

However, if you have a social security number, we can fund your US corporation, unlike many small business loan shops and credit unions.
