Accounts Receivable Factoring – Take Advantage of your Biggest Asset (Part 2)
Another term for Accounts Receivable Factoring is Invoice Factoring, the terms are essentially interchangeable.
When you evaluate the statistics of the number of days your invoices are waiting to be paid and how many are over due. This is simply data about the likelihood of collections. It has nothing to do with sales and how to increase sales.
I will pose another question, Is it bad the backlog in the accounts receivable? Likely your automatic response is “Yes”. Let’s reconsider the question. In many cases, this response invariably wrong. I think the answer is depends, what does the Accounts Receivable made up of? Value of each particular business; let me give you an example.
If you have an abundance of Inventory and you are nearing the end of your season for a particular type of goods. You will have to pay for warehouse space for the next several months until the season comes back. You can have an opportunity to sell a large portion of your goods at a discount and clear out your warehouse. What would you do?
If it is a new customer and you have never dealt with them before, you will review their credit. You come to the expectation that it will take a few months to collect your invoice. Will you accept the order from the client?
If you look at the opportunity strictly from a credit perspective, you would likely not take the order.
Of course yes, if we consider the area of credit as a generator of value. Even better, use Invoice Factoring to collect on the payment with 48 hours of delivery of the goods and clear out the warehouse. Yes it will cost a bit in terms of a fee for Invoice Factoring, but now you will not have to pay for warehouse space.
This is but one simple way that Invoice Factoring can assist your company. In the economy today, Invoice Factoring will be a large financial tactic used in the origination of Cash Flow for many companies.
Think, is 3 times cheaper to retain and maintain a client to get a new one and if Invoice Factoring will help you keep the business you have now, grow new business and reduce the stress of juggling your Cash Flow, you definitely need to speak with a Commercial Finance Broker.
