FACTORING IN A CONTINUING AGREEMENT - It is an arrangement where a financing entity purchases all of the accounts receivable of a certain entity.
Factoring rates typically range from 1% to 5% of the invoice value per month, but vary based on the invoice amount, your sales volume and your customer's creditworthiness, among other factors. Invoice factoring can be a good option for business-to-business companies that need fast access to capital.
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.
If a business sells its accounts receivable outright to a factoring company, the proceeds from that sale are considered taxable income. However, if the business retains ownership of the receivables and merely receives an advance against those receivables, the advance is not considered taxable income.
