I am trying to manage my credit better and I have read on here that it’s best to use less than 30% of your total credit allowance, or else your credit score might drop. When figuring out how much of my credit allowance I am using, do I factor in how much I owe on my student loans as well? What about a car loan that I am a secondary signer on? Does that go on my credit score as well? Thanks!

Your Cash Flow Slowed, Accounts Receivable Factoring Can Help

In the most recent issue of Fortune Small Business there is a great article by Jay Gotz. In Jay’s article "Surviving the Recession" he summarizes through downturns in the market you can afford decreased profits if you have cash flow, however the converse is not true. I could not agree more, cash flow is the life blood to any company. Without proper cash flow the business will not function properly and in many cases the ownership and management will pull away from their long terms success strategies to solve short term cash flow issues.

According to a survey by Fortune and Zogby International of business owners in early December they found, 55% of small business owners say it has become harder to collect receivables in the past six weeks. Of those who say it’s gotten harder, 60% describe this as a serious problem. Spending much time in the private sector, prior to founding Troon Funding Services. I can confirm this is a serious problem, because as accounts receivables grow, cash flow tightens.

Accounts Receivable Factoring will allow your company to convert those accounts receivables to cash. As I stated in a previous article cash is king, especially in this economic environment. This additional working capital can be used to take advantage of payment discounts offered by your vendors, look for new opportunities in the market place due to your competitors inability to ship timely, and/or to pay down existing expenses. In all cases with factoring, your business will be in a better cash position.

Is Accounts Receivable Factoring right for You…

Accounts receivable factoring can actually be a very smart move in the game of business if played correctly. To make some quick money, a business owner will sell their receivables at a discounted price to us for cash. In turn, we will turn take full responsibility of the account. Unlike a bank that charges interest on the businesses loan balance, Troon Funding will charge a small discount fee that is paid after your customer submits payment. Again, this method of financing is not a loan and is most beneficial to businesses looking for immediate cash flow, specifically for invoices less than 90 days old.

You know those days when you really love what you do for your career. This article is about just one of those days. I did a deal for a client that Discount Factoring was the absolutely perfect option for his business and everything went off without a hitch.

The client services the major industry providers for Telecom in the country. Over the last 3 years he has been a two man operation. Due to some changes in that industry, they are just starting some major overhauls of systems and that is what this mans company does. Since he had been working with these companies for the last few years and they like his work he has become a preferred supplier of service for them.

On the outside looking in it looks like a great success story, right? Consider this. Now he has to hire more staff, more equipment and travel more. The terms of collection are net 60 so it will be 2 months before he gets paid for services rendered today. He has to pay for supplies net 30 and the employees are to be paid bi-weekly.

This is a common problem of cash flow, and is a major hurdle for companies when they experience rapid growth. Of course the first reaction is to go to the bank and get an Operating Line of Credit. Unfortunately, the bank did not look favorably on the application and denied it promptly as there was insufficient financial data to satisfy the bank guidelines.

The Solution: Small Business Factoring. I set the company up with a Line of Credit using the Accounts Receivable as security and the advance rate is 85% of what ever he has in open AR.

It took less than 1 week from the time I received the application until it was funded. The client was very pleased and now he can do as much work for the Telecom Industry as they want him to do without fear of now being able to have the cash flow to sustain the funds sitting is AR.

Benefits of Small Business Factoring

Looking for small business financing has always been a challenge for company owners. Even in good times, qualifying for the financing you need has been difficult. As a rule, most banks require that your company has a track record of success and they need a few years worth of financial history.

Most importantly, institutions want to make sure you have collateral – things like equipment and real estate – to back your business loan. Because of this, many industries with no hard assets such as staffing and consulting have a hard time obtaining business loans.

There are others form of financing that can help business owners – at least in some specific situations. One form of financing that has been gaining traction in the past few years is invoice factoring. It can be an ideal solution for companies that are waiting 30 to 60 days to get their invoices paid, but need the money sooner.

For example, let’s say that a staffing agency invoices $200,000 to a client that will be pay in 45 days. In the meantime, the agency needs to pay employee salaries every two weeks. If the company does not have enough capital to pay employees while waiting to get paid, then it will run into problems. In this case, a solution is to get an advance on the invoice by factoring it.

In a factoring transaction, the factoring company advances funds against an invoice. The advance is usually 70% to 90% of the invoices and varies by industry. The advance provides working capital that enables the owners to meet payroll and other business expenses. Once your client pays the invoice in full, you get the remaining funds, less the factoring fee. The fee varies based on a number of parameters but can range from 1.5% to 4.0% for an invoice payable in 30 days.

Qualifying for accounts receivable factoring is relatively easy, when compared to other business financing products. To qualify, the company must be in good standing, free of any liens and have a roster of good paying customers. Factoring companies consider your invoices to be your biggest asset and are very happy to use those as collateral. That makes their services accessible to companies of all sizes, including startups. More importantly, it provides funds to companies whose biggest assets are a good reputation and a list of solid clients.
