Any business can make accounts receivable factoring a part of their business plan. Businesses who choose to utilize a factoring company, known as a factor, often need an immediate advance of cash. Some businesses considering a factoring loan may not be eligible for a traditional business loan from a bank. Factoring also benefits businesses with small or no collections departments or businesses that are already considering using an outside company for collections.

Accounts receivable factoring, or factoring,  provides a business with the option to receive an advance on their accounts receivable invoices from the factor, in exchange the business relinquishes their accounts receivables at a discount to the factor to collect. The business often receives a portion of the advance from the factor and then receives another the rest of the advance when the customers pays their invoice.

Similar to a publisher’s advance, accounts receivable factoring provides business owners the opportunity to grow their business without having to use capital created from customer generated income. Businesses may use this advance in a variety of ways including investing in the firm’s development or to pay back its vendors more quickly.
