What Is Accounts Receivable Financing?

What Is Accounts Receivable Financing?

Accounts receivable financing helps you obtain capital by using receivables as collateral. This may involve invoice factoring, which is the purchase of receivables for cash flow. Accounts receivable financing is a quick and simple path to getting financing. After selling your invoice or book of receivables, the factoring company is responsible for receiving payment—taking this completely off your own plate.

By selling your invoice(s) to a lender, you can get the capital you need to pursue new opportunities or manage cash flow and payroll right away. Because the invoice itself functions as collateral, you won’t have to put up assets or real estate to get this funding.

How Does Accounts Receivable Financing Work?

How Does Accounts Receivable Financing Work?

Accounts receivable financing exchanges your outstanding receivables for short-term funding. The lender collects your invoices, assuming to be paid in time through your clients, and the borrower receives anywhere from 75% to 98% of the total value.

This is a short-term capital solution. In most cases, lenders want to be repaid within 60 to 90 days of receiving your invoices. This is done as clients pay their outstanding invoices to your business, not through a formal repayment schedule.

Unlike other forms of financing, you won’t make payments to your lender physically. The exchange of invoices for cash is the entirety of the transaction between you and the lender, who will recoup the amount as clients pay their invoices.

The lender’s “fee” comes from the total value of your invoices, which translates into the diminished value the borrower receives. Despite the lower value, it’s a great way for businesses to transform late payments into immediate liquidity.

Still, it’s important to work with a reputable, transparent lender, as there have been situations where clients are alerted to the change in ownership of their invoices. At National, you never have to worry about that. Our 75+ lender marketplace contains only the top lending institutions in the country, and we’ll never put you in a position that jeopardizes your relationship with clients.

Accounts Receivable Financing FAQs

What Types of Businesses Typically Use Accounts Receivable Financing?

From eCommerce businesses to construction companies, any business that leverages its accounts receivable can use this type of financing to secure short-term capital, whether through an A/R loan or through factoring.

Are There Any Downsides or Risks Associated With Accounts Receivable Financing?

If you leverage accounts receivable factoring, you’re losing a small percentage of the total value of your invoices. Depending on your business’ standing, this might not be a viable option for your bottom line.

Another potential risk is the possibility that your customers are alerted to the change in ownership of their invoices. This occurs mostly with non-transparent lenders that don’t have their client’s best interest in mind, so make sure to research the company you’re working with extensively before finalizing a contract.

All the risks and downsides come down to the lender you’re working with. You need the right one, and working with National Business Capital makes that process much easier and more straightforward.

How Long Does It Take to Receive Funding Through Accounts Receivable Financing?

If you’re seeking an A/R loan, it can take anywhere from one day to three weeks, depending on the value of your receivables and the type of lender you’re working with. This is because it takes time to collateralize your outstanding invoices.

Factoring, on the other hand, usually moves much faster, with borrowers receiving their funds in five to ten business days.

Can I Use Accounts Receivable Financing if I Have Bad Credit?

Yes! Accounts receivable financing mostly relies on the value of your outstanding invoices, so credit scores play less of a role than other financing products. As long as you have quality receivables that meet or exceed a lender’s minimum requirements, you’ll be able to reach an approval – if you’re working with the right lender for your business.
