Invoice (“A/R”) Factoring

Companies experiencing uneven cash flow can use their accounts receivable as a liquidity source to obtain immediate cash. The process by which they would do that is called invoice factoring. Receivables can be sold to a 3rd party factor that advances the company up to 80% of the invoice value. You may also be able to obtain an accounts receivable loan, which is essentially a loan against the value of the invoices.

General Characteristics

  • Non-recourse
  • 80% advance of invoice value
  • 1-2% per month fee
  • Cheaper than equity
  • Good for matching the timing of income and expenses.

Line of Credit (“LOC”)

Companies in need of very short term capital should consider the line of credit. Think of the line of credit as “capital as needed” – you are approved (given credit) for funding up to a certain amount, whenever you want it. Popular uses of a line of credit are purchasing inventory, using funds to start new jobs, day-to-day cash flow management, and having reserve capital for emergencies or opportunities.

General Characteristics

  • Unsecured by personal assets
  • No personal guarantee
  • 13.99-18.50% APR
  • Cheaper than equity
  • Good for very short term capital needs.

Purchase Order Financing

Companies short on cash often have to turn away big orders or new customers because they can’t cover the upfront costs. A unique funding tool, called PO financing, is when the funder advances funds in anticipation of full payment by the end-customer upon delivery of the goods. PO financing is small business funding tailored to the exact situation for which the money is needed – starting a job.

 

General Characteristics

  • Funds used to start purchase order
  • Paid directly to your vendor
  • Funder often does A/R factoring if needed
  • Pricing based on your profit margin on the job
  • Cheaper than equity
  • Good for reducing the amount of money you need to invest personally to start jobs.

The Merchant Cash Advance

merchant cash advance is an advance on the cash flow a company expects to receive in the future. Alternative lenders rely on many factors in determining whether to approve a loan or cash flow advance, but many will consider any business with at least 6 months of operations and $10,000 in monthly revenue. Although these cash flow loans tend to more expensive than traditional loans, they provide companies with a quick solution.

 

General Characteristics

  • Funds within 24-48 hours
  • Funding amount based on bank deposits or credit card volume
  • Often fully unsecured
  • Cheaper than equity
  • No personal guarantee required
  • Good for quick capital – capitalizing on an opportunity or remedying an emergency
  • Great use of funds is bridging your business to busy season
