What is Debt Factoring?
Debt factoring is a financial transaction in which a business sells its accounts receivable, or outstanding invoices, to a third-party financial company, known as a factor. The factor purchases trade debts or receivables from a client firm at a discounted price, providing immediate cash flow to the business. Debt factoring is used as a financial instrument to provide better cash flow control, especially if a company currently has a lot of accounts receivables with different credit terms to manage.
Our clients at Equiflux Capital Group have benefitted from this as they receive immediate payment rather than waiting for their customers to pay those invoices. We collect payments on those customer invoices whilst retaining a fee for our services. This helps our client’s businesses access cash quickly, especially if they have difficulty obtaining financing from traditional sources like banks.
WHY USE DEBT FACTORING?
Every business needs money to operate. Factoring companies provide a reliable and steady source of cash for companies. With over 15 years of experience serving clients across the UNITED Kingdom, Equiflux Capital Group delivers factoring solutions to meet any situation or need.
We also use factoring as a form of guarantee for businesses, as Equiflux Capital Group assumes all the credit risk associated with the outstanding invoices. By purchasing the accounts receivable of a business, the factor becomes responsible for collecting payment from the customers. This can helped our businesses reduce their risk of bad debt and improve their cash flow whilst eliminating administrative burden.
Individuals and Companies turn to factoring when traditional financing isn’t an option. Bank loans and bank lines of credit provide cash but can be difficult to manage and increase a company’s debt. The benefits of factoring include a steady source of cash flow without taking on additional debt or obligations. Equiflux Capital Group has factoring options which are customized for each company’s unique situation and needs, regardless of their current balance sheet.
