BENEFITS OF FACTORING

Access to Working Capital
In today's complex economy, small and mid-sized businesses often face financial pressure of unpredictable cash flow. Accounts receivable factoring is the perfect tool for companies that need low-cost, flexible, and easy-to-access working capital. By factoring, your company can gain access to immediate cash to:

Cover operating, purchasing, and payroll expenses.
Take advantage of supplier discounts.
Expand operations or into new markets.


Benefits over Traditional Lending

In addition, factoring has numerous advantages over traditional lending and venture capital. These benefits include:

Quick turnaround on funding requests
No added debt
No loss of equity
No compensating balances

High Flexibility and No Commitment
Factoring provides companies with a great amount of financial flexibility without any long-term commitments or lengthy contracts. In fact, with BFC's factoring services you can:

Select the receivables you want to factor
Set the length of the relationship
Terminate the relationship at any time, free of charge

A Basic Example
As you will see by the following example, companies that factor can also increase their net income for a calendar year by turning receivables into immediate revenue. Cash can then be used to finance operations and growth.
