Invoice Factoring FAQs

Everything you need to know before you apply.

What is invoice factoring?
Invoice factoring is the sale of unpaid B2B invoices to a third party (the factor) at a discount in exchange for an immediate cash advance — typically 80% to 95% of the invoice face value. The factor then collects payment from your customer when the invoice matures. The remaining balance (less a factoring fee) is paid to you on collection.
How much does invoice factoring cost?
Factoring fees typically range from 1% to 5% per 30 days. The exact rate depends on your industry, invoice volume, customer credit quality, and whether the arrangement is recourse or non-recourse. A $100,000 invoice factored at 2% over 30 days would cost $2,000 in fees.
Who qualifies for invoice factoring?
Any U.S. B2B business with creditworthy commercial customers and outstanding invoices. Factors care more about your customer's credit than your own. Common qualifying industries: trucking, staffing, manufacturing, wholesale, business services, government contractors, and IT services.
What is the difference between recourse and non-recourse factoring?
In recourse factoring, you (the seller) are responsible if your customer doesn't pay the invoice. In non-recourse factoring, the factor absorbs the credit risk if the customer becomes insolvent. Non-recourse factoring costs more (typically 0.5%–1% higher) because the factor takes on more risk. Most small business factoring is recourse.
Will my customers know I am factoring my invoices?
In traditional (notification) factoring, yes — your customers receive notice to send payment directly to the factor. In non-notification factoring (less common, available for stronger borrowers), the arrangement is confidential. Most factors handle the customer relationship professionally, and treating factoring as a standard business finance tool minimizes any stigma.
Is invoice factoring the same as invoice financing?
Closely related but not identical. Invoice financing (also called invoice discounting) is a loan against your invoices — you still own the invoice and you still collect from your customer. Invoice factoring is a sale of the invoice — the factor owns it and collects from your customer. Financing is more flexible; factoring usually advances more.
