Manufacturer Factoring Company

What is Manufacturer Factoring?

It’s important to know that manufacturer factoring is not a loan, there are NO APR fees.  Be careful of any company that is going to charge you an APR.   So, what is manufacturer factoring?  It’s alternative financing, it’s when your company sells its open invoice, at a discounted rate for immediate cash.  When you factoring your invoices, you are NOT taking on additional debt that needs to be paid back.

Why should you choose Manufacturer Factoring over a traditional loan?

It’s pretty simple, if you open a line of credit with a bank, you will take on additional debt.  You will have another monthly bill to pay.  Yes, you will have working capital and cashflow but at what monthly cost and for how long?

When you use invoice factoring, you are not taking on any new debt.  You get to choose the invoices that you want to sell us, we don’t force you to sell us your entire book of business.  If you find that your company is running low on cash, you can simply sell a few invoices and we will advance you the money within 24 hours. 

As a Manufacturer, are you feeling the financial pinch due to slow paying customers?  You have money coming but you also have money going out, Invoice factoring gaps the time frame, from the day you invoice your clients to the time you get paid.  If you are concerned that your cashflow is running low, you simple sell some invoice and within 24 hours you are cash positive again. 

What happens if you pick up some new accounts and you have to fulfill big orders, are you going to have to back to the bank and request a larger line of credit?  If you do, you are going to have to wait to see if this is approved.  If you were to use invoice factoring opposed to a bank line of credit, all you have to do sell us more invoices to get you the capital you need to fulfill your new orders.

Manufacturers Beware of an APR Fee

 Alliance One is a traditional factoring company, we DO NOT charge you an APR Fee, on top of our factoring fee.  Many of our competitors have converted from a traditional factoring company to an alternative factoring company, which simply means they will charge you a factoring fee and they will charge you an APR fee.  To make matters worse, they do not tell you about the APR fee, the APR fee is buried deep in their factoring agreement.  You do not have to use our company but when are shopping around for a factoring company, the number one question you need to ask is... Do you charge a factoring fee and an APR fee?

As a Manufacturer, are you already acting as a factoring company?

Do you offer a 2% discount to your customer if they pay their invoice within 10 or 15 days?  Maybe you do and maybe you don’t.  Many manufacturers do offer a discount to expedite payments.  When you offer a 2% discount, this might entice your customers to pay you more rapidly.  Some customers will take advantage of this discount and others will not.  If you offer a 2% discount (or any discount), you are acting as a factoring company already.

Our company is offering our services at the same two percent rate that you are most likely discounting to your customers already.  They only difference is, when you sell us an invoice we guarantee (after verifying the validity of the invoice) that we will pay you within 24 hours. This is faster than you are requesting payments (by offering a discount) from you customers now. 

Let's face it, waiting to get paid on your aging invoices isn't always easy to do. Every business would benefit from positive working capital. You did your job, now it's time to get paid.
