The Factoring Client profile
You begin by filling out a simple client profile, which we will provide you. Please click here for company profile. This profile will cover basics such as your company's name and address, the nature of your business, and information about your customers.
You may need to supply the factoring companies with an accounts receivable aging report, existing customers' credit limits, or other related documents. Remember the invoice factoring company will attempt to determine the creditworthiness of your customers independent of their credit history with your company. Factoring companies want the broader view of their overall credit status.
During this initial stage you will also cover basic financial arrangements with the factoring company. For instance, what will be the monthly volume of invoices you want to factor(i.e. how liquid do you need to be)? What will the advance rate and the discount rate be? How quickly will the factoring company issue the advance to you?
In most cases, the answers to these questions will vary depending on the financial strength of your customer(s) and the anticipated monthly sales volume to be factored. Variations between industries, length of time in operation, and general reputation of how risky a customer of yours may be. For instance, a long list of high-risk clients will cost you more in factoring fees than a short list of government agencies with a slow-pay history.
In the factoring business, volume is all important. The higher your volume(the dollar amount of invoices you factor), the more favorable your rates will be.
The factoring company will use the client profile you submit to determine if your company is suitable for invoice factoring. This process is simply the factoring company analyzing the risks versus the rewards, using the information you provided.
Once approved by the factoring company, you can expect to negotiate terms and conditions. The negotiation process takes several aspects of the deal into consideration. For instance, if you want to factor $10,000, you can't expect as good a deal as a company that wants to factor $500,000.
During the negotiation process, you will become well aware of what it costs for factoring your invoices. After you reach an agreement with the factoring company, the funding wheels begin to roll. The factoring company conducts due diligence by researching your customers' credit and any liens placed against your company. The factoring company also confirms the legitimacy of your invoice before buying your receivables and advancing cash to you
