Accounts receivable
financing and accounts receivable funding are ways in which a business
can raise working capital very quickly by selling accounts receivable
invoices to a factor for a small discount. The factor then becomes responsible
for collection of the monies then due to him.
At any one time
there will be a shortfall in what has been supplied and what has been
paid for, naturally. So if you need funds quickly you could sell your
receivables to a Factor in order to raise this. This is essentially
what accounts receivable funding is.
Despite the advantages
of accounts receivable financing, many firms do not use this either
because their managers or owners have never thought of it or don't understand
how it works.
The advantages in terms of cash flow and in the overall health of a
business can be extraordinary, so much so that many companies engage
in accounts receivable funding as a matter of course and as part of
their successful business model.
