How to Start Factoring: The Process Explained Complete the application process. First, you'll get your account setup. Submit invoices to factor. Now you're approved and ready to send your invoices to the factor. The factor collects from your customers. The factor releases the reserve.
Another document required for factoring is an accounts receivable aging report. This report lists out unpaid invoices, credit memos, and notes by date. Accounts receivable aging reports may also be referred to as a schedule of accounts receivable or just a schedule.
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.
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.
