Key points
- Factoring turns unpaid invoices into cash now, instead of waiting 30 to 90 days.
- A factoring company advances most of the invoice value up front, and the rest, minus a fee, when your customer pays.
- Approval depends mostly on your customers’ ability to pay, not just your own credit.
- Fees are a percentage of the invoice, so compare the total cost carefully.
