Do you face this challenge?
Most labour hire companies and recruitment agencies give their clients 30 to 60 days to pay their invoices. Trading on 30-day terms is typical in business transactions and is expected by your customers. However, these terms can create problems for companies with small cash reserves.
Trading on terms creates a 30-day gap, or longer, between sending the invoice and getting paid. Any expenses that must be paid during this period must come from your cash reserves. These include employee wages, entitlements, taxes, superannuation, and other expenses. This situation becomes a problem if these expenses exceed your reserves.
Invoice factoring solves this problem by financing your accounts receivable. This provides the funds you need to pay expenses and grow the business. When used correctly, invoice factoring provides a stable platform for growth.
How does invoice factoring work?
Your invoices are financed in two instalments. The first instalment is deposited into your account soon after it’s processed by the debtor financing company. This instalment covers 80% – 85% of the invoice’s value.
The financing company deposits the remaining 15% – 20% once your customer pays the invoice on their usual trading terms. This deposit concludes the transaction for the invoice. Financing fees are deducted directly from the instalments. Fees vary based on the size and risk of the transaction.
Competitive advances
A high initial instalment is essential for labour hire companies and recruitment agencies. This deposit provides the initial liquidity injection that improves cash flow and helps cover expenses.
Commercial Capital LLC offers high advances. They range from 80% – 85% based on transaction details and risk.
