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.
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.
Invoice factoring is an agreement to assign your accounts receivable (A/R) to a factoring company. So the letter communicates that a third party (factoring company) is managing and collecting your A/R.
Get a Release Letter: Once all obligations are fulfilled, ask for a release letter from the factoring company. This document should state that you have fulfilled all contractual obligations and that the factoring company has no further claim on your invoices or receivables.
The process of finding factors of a given value or mathematical expression is called factorisation. Factors are the integers that are multiplied to produce an original number. For example, the factors of 18 are 2, 3, 6, 9 and 18, such as; 18 = 2 x 9.
