Accounts Receivable Loans: Lending vs. Factoring

Posted by Brian Tucker on Tue, Jul 22, 2014

As a business owner, or advisor, it is important to consider various alternatives and oftentimes the most obvious path is the one pursued. Many times when a company is in need of cash flow the immediate thought is to pursue a credit line from a Bank or other financial institution. The first impression is to “get a loan” and use Accounts Receivable as collateral. This may be a possible solution; however, there may be an easier way and that is to “obtain factoring”. Let’s look at the reasons it may be easier and more efficient.

What Is Accounts Receivable Financing Based On?

Posted by Jan Ziegler on Fri, Jul 11, 2014

An accounts receivable is a transaction between two businesses whereby one business sells to another on terms. Payment terms can vary depending on the party’s agreement, but net 30 is typical. An accounts receivable (invoice) is sent to the buyer once the seller delivers the product/service. This invoice becomes an asset of the sellers business and can be sold in exchange for cash. Accounts receivable financing allows the seller to get a high advance in the form of cash, immediately by selling the receivable to a third party. This is called Accounts Receivable financing.

Online Factoring: Your first stop for fast access to cash.

Online Factoring : Your first stop for fast access to cash.

“Cash is king.” You’ve heard this saying before because it’s true. While it may be overly simplistic, it has real practical implications, especially for small-to medium-size businesses. But what about expedience and convenience? Often it’s the combination of a cash injection and expedience that’s necessary to meet your business objectives. Waiting weeks for credit isn’t an option, and, spending significant time away from the business puts an additional strain on resources. Perhaps you’ve seen the Ford commercials in which Ford owners envision choosing between two good things, such as having a safe vehicle or a reliable vehicle but not both. At the end of the commercial, the actors determine that “and is better.” Obviously, they’re implying that you don’t have to choose between two good things if you buy their product and that you may very well not get everything if you purchase a competitor’s product. All humor aside, traditional business financing methods are often slow and tedious to secure, and factoring companies which don’t offer a full online solution simply aren’t providing the same convenience and expediency that you desire. Online factoring combines a great financial product with the speed and convenience afforded by online processing. Fast AR Funding’s online factoring doesn’t just provide cash, it also provides additional benefits that can make your business more productive and secure. If you’re concerned with the speed at which you can gain funding, then online factoring should be a serious consideration.  If you’re not sure if it’s right for your business, then keep reading for some common business scenarios that may be applicable to your situation.
