30, 60, 90 Days to Cash or How About Right Away?

Most B2B businesses who utilize other businesses in order to provide their products and services to their customers offer payment terms of 30, 60, or 90 days before an invoice must be paid.  This is a way that companies extend credit to one another and it helps the world go round, so to speak.  “You scratch my back and I scratch yours.”

cash flow

 The only trouble with this arrangement of payment terms is that there’s sometimes a long wait to get paid for the products and services that have already been fulfilled.  It can be tricky to continue to provide products and services to other customers while waiting 30, 60 or 90 days for outstanding payments to come in.  Those outstanding payments are an asset as accounts receivable, but they don’t do much good unless they can be converted to cash and used for operations.

One clever way to bridge the gap between invoice and payment is by factoring invoices.  Once an invoice has been received the business turns to a factoring company, such as Universal Funding.  The factor purchases the company’s unpaid invoices at a discounted rate and provides an immediate cash advance for the products and services sold to the company’s customers.

It’s like a business cash advance without acquiring any additional debt.  For more information on accounts receivable factoring or for a quote, click here or call Universal Funding Corporation at 1-800-405-6035.

Why You Should Factor Receivables

There is no business rule that requires you to get the financing you need to continue operating your business from a bank. There are many ways for you to get the additional financing you need to take advantage of a sudden upsurge in the number of orders you have received for your goods and services. Invoice factoring is a non-traditional financing method that enables you to use the increase in orders itself as a means of getting the cash flow you need to keep up with production and keep vendors happy.

It is often the case that companies experience a sudden and significant surge in the number of sales they make. This can happen for a variety of reasons  but regardless of the cause of such an event, it is vital that the business be able to meet the new demand adequately.  Universal Funding provides a fast financing option.

Creating the production capacity needed to meet an increase in demand sometimes requires hiring new personnel or acquiring new equipment. This will be an added expense—that must be paid on the spot and coming up with the cash required to bring in new resources puts many business owners in the position of having to borrow. However, when you factor receivables, your business can get an advance against the new invoices you have, and buffer the financial situation.

When you choose to factor receivables, you are using your invoices as assets and can mitigate some of the added expenses that come with growing demand for your product or services.  If you are concerned about your cash flow being affected by an increase in demand please call 1-800-405-6035 or click here, and one of our Business Development professionals will follow-up with you.
