The short answer

What is invoice factoring?

Invoice factoring is the sale of your unpaid B2B invoices to a third party at a discount. You receive most of the invoice value up front, up to 90 percent with BZKNEES FACTORING, within one business day, instead of waiting 30 to 90 days for your customer to pay. Your customer then pays the factoring company directly on their normal terms. It is a purchase of an asset you already own, not a loan, so there is no monthly payment and nothing to amortize.

Factoring is also called accounts receivable factoring, AR factoring, or invoice financing. Those terms get used loosely and mostly interchangeably, though invoice financing sometimes means a loan secured by receivables rather than an outright sale. What we do is an outright sale.

Why businesses use it: net 60 is a loan, and you are the bank

Here is what actually happens. You sell forty thousand dollars of product to a customer who is bigger than you are, and because they are bigger than you are, they set the terms, and the terms are net 60. So you paid your supplier, you paid your people, you paid the shipping and the packaging and the rent, and now you sit on an invoice for two months while your customer holds your money and does whatever they want with it.

That is a loan. You made it. You are not charging interest on it, you did not underwrite it, and you cannot call it. Meanwhile the next purchase order shows up and you have to tell them you cannot fill it yet, not because you cannot do the work, but because your working capital is sitting in somebody else's accounts payable queue.

Most owners treat that as the cost of doing business. It is not. It is a financing problem, and financing problems have solutions.

The mechanic

How the money actually moves

Three parties, one document, and a wire. That is the whole thing.

1

You send us the invoice

You bill your customer the way you always have, on whatever terms you already agreed to, and you send us a copy along with proof the goods shipped or the work was accepted.

2

We fund up to 90 percent

Approved invoices fund by wire or ACH within one business day. We hold the remaining reserve, which is not a fee and not ours to keep.

3

Your customer pays us

They pay on their normal terms, to us instead of to you, and when they do we release the reserve back to you less our fee.

The document that makes it work is called a Notice of Assignment. It goes to your customer's accounts payable department and it says you have sold the rights to that invoice to us, so payment goes to us. It does not change the amount they owe, it does not change their due date, and it does not change your contract. It changes the mailing address on the check.

Who this is for

If you sell to other businesses on terms, this applies to you

Wholesale and distribution

You buy inventory with cash and sell it on net 30 or net 60. The gap between those two is exactly the problem factoring solves.

Manufacturing

Raw materials and labor go out the door months before the payment comes back. A big new PO should not be a cash emergency.

Staffing and professional services

You run payroll every week or two. Your clients pay on net 45. That mismatch is structural and it never fixes itself.

Commercial services

Janitorial, landscaping, security, facilities. Recurring monthly billing to commercial accounts that pay slowly and predictably.

IT resellers and integrators

You pay the distributor on their terms and bill the client on theirs, and yours are always shorter.

Anyone who just landed a big customer

The order that finally makes the year is also the order that breaks your cash flow. That is the most common call we get.

Straight talk

When you should not factor

We modeled this before we put a single number on this website, and we are going to tell you what the model said even though it does not help us sell anything.

Factoring does not create demand. It removes a financing constraint, and that is all it does. So if you can already fund every order you have, factoring is a cost with no offsetting benefit, and in the scenarios we ran on a business that was not capital constrained, factoring lost money every single time.

Here is the honest test. Take a net 45 invoice collected on day 38, which costs 3.5 percent. On a business running a 30 percent gross margin, factoring pays for itself if it lets you sell about 12 percent more than you are selling now. If you have that much unserved demand sitting in front of you, the math works and it works decisively. If you do not, keep your money.

We would rather tell you that on the website than three months into a contract.
