What is invoice factoring and why its good for your cashflow

Invoice factoring is type of invoice finance where you "sell" some or all of your company's outstanding invoices to a third party as a way of improving your cash flow and revenue stability. A factoring company will pay you most of the invoiced amount immediately, then collect payment directly from your customers and charge a fee to your business. It is often cheaper and easier to obtain than a bank loan. While there are fees associated with invoice factoring, they may be less than the cost of paying dedicated credit control staff.


When should your company use invoice factoring?

Your company should use invoice factoring when you routinely have a lot of invoices outstanding and your cash flow is suffering because of it.

You can use the cashflow released to

  • Bridge short-term expenses and invest in new tools of your trade

  • Repay a loan

  • Take advantage of seasonal or upcoming business opportunities


Thus improving businesss stability with a predictable cashflow in place


Invoice factoring isn't suitable for companies with only a handful of main customers.


There are pros and cons for invoice factoring for different types of businesses.
