The invoice finance industry has chosen to be self-regulated in regards to the factoring facilities they offer.
Primary risks in invoice factoring include potential client defaults, impacting the factor's recovery; high costs due to fees and interest rates; customer relationships strain from third-party involvement; and hidden fees or contractual obligations.
Factoring Companies Rely on Self-Regulation Similar to most alternative finance institutions, invoice factoring companies in the U.S. are not regulated by a formal government body.
Documents you will have to provide: Factoring application. Articles of Association or registered Amendments to the Articles of Association of your company. Annual report for the previous financial year. Financial report (balance sheet andf profit/loss statement) for the current year (for 3, 6 or 9 months, respectively)
Invoice factoring eligibility depends on what type of business you have, where you're located, the type of industry you work in, and whether or not you have any outstanding liens or tax balance. You'll also need to work with creditworthy customers, who aren't at risk of not paying their outstanding receivables.
Here's a breakdown of the basic invoice factoring requirements: Bank statements. Factoring application. Invoices you want to factor. Proof of delivery or service. Customer credit information. Accounts receivable aging report. Articles of incorporation or business registration.
