What Is Factoring?

How Does Factoring Work?

Invoice factoring is the process of selling invoices so that you receive money more quickly and can use that cash for any business purpose you choose. Many companies use factoring to buy equipment, hire new employees, and make payroll. Factoring helps alleviate the cash flow burden companies experience when they have to wait 30-90 days to get paid. Once a factoring facility is put in place, factoring clients can sell invoices and receive cash that same day.

Factoring with Velocity may be a great solution to obtaining working capital if your company:

  • Provides goods or services to commercial customers
  • Is free of tax liens (or has a payment plan in place)
  • Has unpaid receivables that are not pledged elsewhere
  • Invoices customer upon completion of work or delivery of goods
  • Can provide supporting documentation for the invoices (i.e. – approval signatures, field tickets, water/disposal tickets, bol’s, etc.)
  • Serves customers that have net terms ranging between 15-75 days, good communication and/or online systems, and good commercial credit
  • Has average monthly sales of $50K to $5MM
  • Is looking to work with a factoring team that cares about you, your customers, and your business!
What if my personal credit isn’t very strong?

Don’t sweat! Although we do review personal credit, one of the great things about factoring is that we rely the most heavily on the credit-worthiness of your customers. If you work for quality companies that have good commercial credit, it’s unlikely your personal credit will affect our ability to fund.

Will Velocity communicate with my customer?

Throughout the relationship, Velocity may reach out to your customer to update the payment address on file, submit or verify invoices, and manage collections. With Velocity taking on some of invoice management duties, you’ll have more time to focus on building your company. With that in mind, we also understand how important your customer relationship is to your business so it is always a top priority for our team that any communication with your customer is courteous and professional.

Do I have to factor all of my invoices?

No, you choose which accounts to factor. With no monthly minimums, you can factor as much or as little as you need on approved accounts.

Do you charge to review credit of my potential new customers?

No. We believe, whether you plan to factor them or not, it’s in everyone’s best interest for our clients to have good credit information available to them when making the decision to do business with a new customer.

What happens if I’m already factoring or receiving financing from another company?

We’re happy to help you review your current financing arrangement. If a buyout is appropriate, Velocity will work with your current finance company as well as your customers to ensure the smoothest transition possible for you.

Can I visit your office?

Absolutely! In fact, we’d love to visit with you in person, whether you are an existing or a potential customer. Since we are located in downtown Midland, we are easily accessible to all of our customers in West Texas and the surrounding area.
