What are the Costs?
Selling Your Invoices Can Actually Make
You More Money!
If you have the ability to make money with
money, the
real question is: How
much does it cost you to not factor?!?
When you extend
credit terms to your customers, YOU are financing THEIR business. No
interest is earned, and you lose the use of your money while waiting for
your customer to pay. This is known as opportunity cost. Make
no mistake, opportunity cost is a cost to your business and impacts your
revenue and profit potential in several ways:
- The most
impacting scenario is when an opportunity for growth or a big job or
order comes in and you don’t have the cash to do the deal. This may
take several forms: you can’t afford to hire and train a new
salesperson or you can’t pay for the marketing campaign that would
bring in additional sales, or you just can’t float the labor or
inventory for a big job. Keep in mind, the amount of money in your
receivables is YOUR money, but it is a non-income producing asset as
long as it is not in your bank account.
- One of the first
business rules of thumb for a savvy entrepreneur is to sell any
nonessential non-income producing asset. In doing so, the funds
produced can be put into something that actually makes profit for
the company. Accounts Receivable are an asset on your company
books. Are your receivables making or costing you money?
- Even if you
don’t have an immediate opportunity for growth, additional funds can
be used to pay vendors and receive purchase discounts or, at a
minimum, a better credit standing.
- Leftover
discretionary funds can simply be placed into an interest-bearing
account, not only earning interest, but immediately available when
the opportunity presents itself.
- The longer your
customers take to pay, the greater the impact on your ability to
earn a profit.
Advantage
Factor, LLC can get you 75% of your invoice
within hours. When the invoice is paid, you receive the reserved
percentage less our competitive fee.
The fees are based on
the time it takes for the invoice to be paid and are never more than 5%
for the first 30 days. Fees typically increase no more than 3% for each
additional 15 day block.
NOTE:
As the time starts on the advance date rather than the invoice date, the
fee is manageable by you. If you know a customer pays in 45 days, you
can hold the invoice for 15 day and then sell it, to remain in the 30
day fee range.
