Factoring is a financial transaction in which a business sells its accounts receivable to a third party, called a factor, at a discount. At iThrive Funding, we buy your invoices for a nominal fee and pay you within 24 hours. Then we do all the billing and collecting so you don’t have to.
Depending on the industry, you will receive up to 95% of the value of the invoice.
There are plenty of benefits to factoring! Because you don’t incur debt and get the cash you need to pay your bills on time, many clients find that factoring can improve their company’s credit rating over time. Also, factoring provides added back office support, free credit checks and professional A/R management services at no additional cost to you.
We keep paperwork to a minimum. We’ll ask you a few basic questions and develop a program tailored to fit your company’s needs. A typical set up can be completed within a couple days.
Once you’re set up, you’ll receive cash in about 24 hours, usually within a couple of hours if the money is going to your FuelStream fuel card. Initial funding may take a day or two longer while we set up your account. The quicker we receive the documents we need, the quicker you’ll get paid.
You can factor all invoices or freight bills for customers that meet our credit standards.
