Cash Flow Factoring

Cash Flow Factoring is all about improving cash flow. Factoring companies often hear the most amazing stories about businesses that have had success improving improving cash flow. Today I received a phone call from a small company that’s been in business for 14 years and experiencing some real opportunity for growth. The family business was just handed down to the second generation—to a young man with lots of energy and plans to grow.

The new business owner began contacting factoring companies and stumbled on Interstate Capital during an internet search. The business owner started telling me about the history of his business-how his father had started the company and was satisfied staying small. When the son took over the business, he saw lots of opportunities his father overlooked or simply was not interested in pursuing due to his advanced age.

Cash Flow Factoring Success

This company sells and services fire extinguishers. While everything was on an even keel, cash flow was not so much of a problem. They collect their accounts receivable in about 60 days. When the son took over the business, he began marketing their services more aggressively and before he knew it, he had customers lined up, but no ability to obtain fire extinguishers from his supplier, because he was constantly waiting to collect his receivables.
Factoring accounts receivables, he figured, would allow him to buy more fire extinguishers for resale and increase both his revenues and gross profit.

This business owner informed me that whenever he’d get a new customer, he would have to keep contacting the customer to inform him that the fire extinguishers were on back order. In reality, his cash was on back order. Cash Flow Factoring can assist small businesses free up that cash to acquire inventory and increase sales. If your cash is on back order (tied up in accounts receivable), you may consider contacting a factoring company like Interstate Capital to get a factoring quote. They are in the business of buying invoices and can help you get your cash flow “flowing”.

Difference between Cash Flow Factoring and Borrowing Video

This video describes the difference between borrowing and cash flow factoring. When was the last time you thought about borrowing money against your accounts receivable lately? Banks have shown to be tighter with funds than they are now. It doesn’t mean that banks no longer offer funding for businesses, but if your business is not profitable right now, then it will be more difficult to get funds.

With factoring companies, they don’t care if you’re making money or if you’re profitable. It is not relevant. They also don’t care what your balance sheet looks like. Companies like Interstate Capital can get approvals in minutes, not weeks.

Funding from cash flow factoring can happen in a few days, not a few months. In fact, most companies can receive an instant on-line rate proposal right from our web site at InterstateCapital.com. Factoring companies make the whole process so easy and without the need of a bank.
