Factoring is a way to finance a business that is in need of cash flow and/or experiencing growth. Factoring provides immediate cash in exchange for invoices. Factoring is the purchase of accounts receivable giving businesses control over how and when they can grow without creating debt on their balance sheet. Usually taking 7-10 business days for the initial funding, factoring can be set up for a business in a few simple steps.   

Factoring is used by large and small businesses across practically all industries today.The transportation industry is no exception to this. Trucking companies across the country use factoring to improve their cash flow and keep their trucks on the road.

“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.
