Invoice finance explained further
What are the benefits of invoice financing?
There are many benefits to invoice financing and the number one businesses enter into invoice financing is smoothing out bumps in cash flow. Waiting for cash flow can cripple a business. They may not be able to pay their employees or order more inventory. Short cash flow can also restrict a business in how they can grow or take advantage of opportunities. It also frees up resources on staff, who may need to chase up invoices and other financial services.
What is a factoring fee?
A factoring fee is the amount a lender takes to recoup the costs of lending money on an unpaid invoice. For a $100,000 invoice that fronts 85% with 15% in reserve, the fees are taken out of the $15,000. A NET 30 invoice may attract a factoring fee of 1% per week; therefore the $4,000 is taken by the lender (minus any processing fees) and the remainder is given to you. Sometimes, the factoring fee will be determined by the level of risk borne by the lender.
How to approach delinquent clients
If you run a business, you have had to deal with clients who are late on paying invoices. One step is to address the elephant in the room and prepare for implementing payment plans if necessary. Sometimes letters of demand and legal action are required. A second plan is to use invoice financing so the debtor arrangements are handled by a third party, which can ease strain on business relationships.
How to maintain cash flow in your small-to-medium business
Did you know it takes an average small business 14.4 days to pay an overdue invoice? This stretches to 18.2 days for larger businesses. For an SME, this can be an eternity. Figuring out your high-risk debt areas and working to minimising it can increase cash flow. The bottom line is driving more sales more often. Liquidating overstock inventory is often better than leaving it on shelves where it is costing you more.
