Invoice factoring in Pickering

Cash now for invoices your customers owe. NorthMerit matches Pickering businesses with one financing partner suited to their request.

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.

Invoice factoring for Pickering businesses

Invoice factoring advances cash against your outstanding commercial invoices, so you aren’t waiting 30, 60 or 90 days to be paid. Approval leans on your customers’ payment history as much as your own.

In Pickering, it’s common among businesses in energy, construction and retail. A partner who works locally understands the timing and the risks in those sectors.
