INVOICE FACTORING

Whether you are an established business or just getting started, insufficient cash flow can cripple your operations and growth. Many institutions may not view your company’s invoices for what they are, an asset!

What is Invoice Factoring?

Invoice Factoring is a transaction in which a business leverages its invoices to a third party commercial finance company, like SouthStar Capital. When factoring with SouthStar, we will advance up to 90% of the amount of your outstanding invoices. After initial funding, you will receive working capital within 24 hours of us receiving an invoice. We do not impose limits on your monthly receivables, so this process can be repeated as often as you produce an invoice. Factoring is very beneficial to companies whose clients pay on terms. Instead of waiting 30, or even 60, days for your clients to pay, factoring allows you to free up cash flow to use for such things as making payroll or growing your business.

Factoring is not a loan, so no debt is added to your balance sheet and the funds are unrestricted, so you have the flexibility to use them how you wish. Unlike traditional lenders, we are not concerned with your credit history. Instead we will look at the credit worthiness of your customer, who owes on the invoice. SouthStar will also provide back-office support and handle your collections, even for invoices you are not choosing to factor.

How does Factoring work?

Once a product/service is completed, you generate an invoice to both your client and SouthStar. We then verify the submitted invoice and advance you up to 90% of the total invoice value. SouthStar is concerned with the credit quality of your clients (account debtors) and not your personal or business credit scores. After the invoice is submitted, working capital will arrive in your bank account within 24 hours. Once your client has sent payment when the invoice is due, SouthStar will remit the balance back to you, less our fee. We can repeat this process as often as you generate an invoice.
