What Is Invoice Factoring?

 

Invoice Factoring is the purchase of accounts aka accounts receivable (invoices) at a discount. The discount regarding our Program "A," or standard transaction, is 20%, meaning that we initially advance you 80% of the value. However, a share of the unadvanced 20%, defined as the Rebate, will become available to you, on a sliding scale basis, after collection, if your customers pay in less than 90 days.

 

We factor invoices on a transactional basis. You may submit one transaction per day consisting of any number of invoices. Your rebate will be paid after we first collect enough to repay the 80% advance and our factoring fee if there are no collection issues with any other invoices. Another way to state it is that your rebate is any amount we collect at any time in excess of that total.
