Financing For Commercial Landscapers Using Factoring

January 31, 2012 By

One common problem for commercial landscaping companies in Canada is that corporate customers usually pay their invoices in 30 to 60 days. However, the landscaping company has a number of expenses that need to be paid regularly.  This forces the landscaper to cover its expenses out of its own reserves while waiting for customers to pay. This can be a substantial problem for small and growing landscaping companies that have not had the opportunity to build cash reserves. When left unchecked, this problem can grow and create a serious working capital shortage. One way to fix this problem is to accelerate revenues using factoring financing.

Factoring solves this problem by advancing funds against the landscaping company’s invoices. A factoring company handles the advance and holds the invoices as collateral. This provides the commercial landscape company with the working capital it needs to meet expenses and handle growing opportunities. The transaction is settled once the invoices are paid on their regular schedule.

One of the advantages working with a factoring company is that they are used to working with companies that have cash flow problems and therefore offer plans that are more accessible that conventional finance products. The most important requirement to qualify for invoice factoring is to have customers with good commercial credit. This is critical, because your customer’s credit and ability to pay invoices is the collateral for the transaction. Aside from that, your company must also:

  • Be free of legal and tax problems
  • Invoice for completed work
  • Have no encumbrances on its invoices
Perhaps the most important benefit of invoice factoring is that the funding line can grow dynamically with your revenues. This means that your funding line can accommodate growth, as long as your customers are credit worthy and as long as your company meets the factoring company’s funding criteria. Because of this, factoring is an ideal solution for growing Canadian landscaping companies that have growth opportunities that are hindered by working capital problems.

Financing Food Service Companies Using Invoice Factoring

January 31, 2012 By

Most companies in the food service industry that work with corporate accounts are used to the fact that corporate clients always demand net 30 to net 60 day payment terms. While this is a common business practice in Canada it also poses a serious challenge to small and growing food service companies that can’t afford to wait that long to get paid. Unless properly managed, this situation can lead to working capital problems that eventually spiral out of control. One way to help address this problem is to use invoice factoring financing.

Invoice factoring solves this problem by providing an advance on your slow paying invoices from credit worthy corporate customers. This gives your company the working capital it needs to meet critical business expenses and relieves the pressure of dealing with slow paying customers. The transaction is structured using a financial intermediary called a factoring company. The factoring company advances the funds to your company while holding your accounts receivable (invoices) as collateral. They settle the transaction once your customer pays in full on their usual schedule.

Qualifying for factoring is easier than qualifying for other business financing products. The most important requirement is that your customers must have good commercial credit. This is critical because the whole transaction is based on your customers ability to pay your invoices. Aside from that, your company must also meet these requirements:

  1. Your invoices must be for completed services
  2. Your invoices must be free of encumbrances
  3. Your company must not have legal or tax problems
One of the advantages of using factoring financing is that the funding line can grow with your revenues, provided that you are selling to credit worthy customers and provided that you meet the factoring criteria.

Financing Freight And Trucking Companies Using Invoice Factoring

January 31, 2012 By

Managing cash flow can be very challenging for Transportation companies. This is because unless you have a quick pay agreement, most shippers will pay their invoices in 30 to 60 days. On the other hand, you have expenses, such as driver salaries, fuel, and repairs,  that need to be paid sooner than that. This can create a problem for freight and trucking companies that don’t have a large enough cash reserve to cover these expenses while waiting. If left unchecked, these cash flow problems can prevent the company from growing, or worse, send it into an unrecoverable financial tailspin. One way to solve this problem is to use freight bill factoring.

Freight factoring is a form of financing where a factoring company advances funds to your trucking company using your invoices as collateral. This provides you with the working capital you need to run your business and minimizes the problems created by slow paying customers. Most factoring financing facilities are used on an ongoing basis to help alleviate working capital shortages.

One advantage of factoring over other forms of business financing is that it’s comparatively easy to obtain. The most important requirement is that your customers must have good commercial credit. This is because your invoices that are payable by them are the collateral that backs the transaction. Aside from that, your company must meet these requirements:

  • Your invoices must be free of encumbrances
  • Your company must be free of legal and taxation problems
  • Your invoices must be for delivered loads
Perhaps the biggest benefit of working with a factoring company is that their financing products are flexible and can adapt to your growing revenues. This makes invoice factoring an ideal solution for growing Canadian trucking companies that have great opportunities that are hindered by working capital problems.

Financing For Freight Forwarding Companies Using Factoring

January 31, 2012 By

Most freight forwarding companies that work with commercial accounts usually have to wait up to 60 days to get paid by customers. Offering payment terms is a common practice in Canada and large corporate customers usually demand – and expect – to get them. This can be a problem for smaller freight forwarders that don’t have the financial resources to wait to get paid because they need funds to meet their own obligations. One way to deal with this problem is to use a form of financing known as freight bill factoring.

Freight bill factoring solves this problem by accelerating revenues that are tied to slow paying freight bills. It works by having an intermediary financing company, called a factoring company,  advance funds to your freight forwarding company using your invoices and freight bills as collateral. The transaction closes once your customers pay on their usual schedule.

One of the advantages of freight factoring is that it’s easier to obtain than most common business financing products. To qualify, your company must work with credit worthy shippers. This is critical because the creditworthiness of your shippers is what the factoring company is relying on. Aside from that, your company must meet these requirements:

  • Your invoices must be for delivered loads
  • Your invoices must be free of encumbrances
  • Your company must not have any legal or tax problems
The most important benefit of freight factoring is its flexibility. Most factoring plans are designed to be dynamic and can grow with your revenues, provided that your sales are to credit worthy customers and provided that your company meets the factoring criteria. This makes factoring financing an ideal solution for growing Canadian freight forwarders that have solid growth opportunities that are being hindered by cash flow problems.

Financing Janitorial Companies Using Invoice Factoring

January 27, 2012 By

One of the biggest challenges for growing janitorial companies is waiting for customers to pay their invoices, since it’s a common practice in Canada to offer payment terms to  large companies. Janitorial companies have to offer terms in order to remain competitive since  large corporate customers usually demand them – and expect them. The problem is that smaller janitorial companies cannot afford to offer payment terms. They need to be paid sooner so that they can meet their own expenses – namely payroll and supplies. One way to solve this problem is to use a financing tool known as invoice factoring and discounting.

Invoice factoring enables you to monetize your slow paying invoices. The transaction is structured through a factoring company that advances funds to your company while holding your invoices as collateral. The transaction closes as soon as your customers pay. This provides you with the working capital you need to pay expenses and take on new clients. Most factoring transactions are structured as follows:

  1. Your company sends a copy of the invoice to the factoring company
  2. The factoring company makes an initial advance of 80% (this varies)
  3. Your customer pays the invoice (after 30 or 60 days)
  4. The factoring company advances the remaining 20%, less fees
Qualifying for factoring is easier than qualifying for other types of business funding. The most important requirement is that your customers must have good commercial credit. This is very important because the whole transaction hinges on their ability to pay. Aside form that, your company must meet this criteria:
  1. Your invoices must be free of encumbrances
  2. Your company must be free of legal and tax problems
  3. Your invoices must be for completed work
One important advantage of factoring financing is that the funding line is flexible and can grow with your business, provided your customers have good commercial credit. This makes factoring financing an ideal financing solution for Canadian janitorial companies that have growth opportunities that are challenged by cash flow problems.
