INVOICE FACTORING / INVOICE DISCOUNTING
If lengthy payment terms are preventing your company from getting the cash it needs quickly, invoice factoring can improve cash flow by providing a faster way of getting paid. Typically, invoice factoring involves your company selling its invoices to a third party factoring company. The factoring company will pay your company a large percentage of the invoice up front (usually 60%-80%). Your customer then pays the factoring company according to their usual payment terms. Once the customer has paid their invoice, your company receives the rest of the invoice payment from the factoring company, minus their fee.
