The factoring company assesses the creditworthiness of the customers and the overall financial stability of the business. Typically, the factoring rates range from 1% to 5% of the invoice value, but they can be higher or lower depending on the specific circumstances.
The disadvantages can include higher costs than alternative services—like trade credit insurance. Invoice factoring can also potentially impact customer relationships due to the involvement of the factoring company in the collections process.
Invoice factoring can be a good option for business-to-business companies that need fast access to capital. It can also be a good choice for those who can't qualify for more traditional financing.
