Factoring has evolved far beyond its early roots in Colonial days and has emerged into a widespread financial alternative for businesses of all types. The volume of invoice funding in the United States exceeds $150 billion annually. Businesses use factoring to generate cash to pay bills, allow for growth, and create greater profits.

Factoring is not a loan. It is the purchase of an asset, your accounts receivable, at a discount by a financial institution called a factor. A traditional bank loan uses all of your company assets as collateral and typically requires personal guarantees. Factoring relies on the credit-worthiness of your customers, not your balance sheet or history.

Unlike a traditional loan, factoring does not add debt to your balance sheet, and there are no loans to repay and there are no monthly payments of principal or interest. By selling your accounts receivable to a factor rather than borrowing from a bank, you simply convert one asset (accounts receivable) into another asset (cash). You can factor accounts receivable to improve your cash flow or help to accelerate your growth. There are no lengthy applications or loan committees. Factoring can be short-term or part of an ongoing financing program. New companies can benefit as well, since there is no requirement for a long-term credit history.
