Invoice Factoring B2B for the Manufacturing Industry
Manufacturing businesses that have to wait 30-90 days sometimes even longer for customers to pay their invoices may find themselves in a tight cash flow situation. If they don’t find capital to cover their operating expenses their expenses can outpace their income.
One excellent option that is often overlooked is the assets in a company’s accounts receivable. They may sell their accounts receivable for a discount and get immediate access to cash to help cover things like payroll, trade purchases, business expansion, and day-to-day operating expenses.
Instead of looking toward hard-to-obtain bank loans to cover cash flow needs, manufacturers should consider using an accounts receivable invoice factoring service to access the capital found in their customers’ invoices.

What is Invoice Factoring B2B for Manufacturing Companies?
Invoice factoring, which is also called accounts receivable factoring, is a form of alternative financing. The factoring service agrees to purchase its clients’ outstanding account receivables at face value, minus a discount.
This form of financing helps businesses obtain cash much faster than it would take for their customers to pay them, which could take 30-90 days even in some cases up to 120 days.
Once their credit is approved and terms are agreed upon between the factoring company and manufacturing client, the manufacturer sells their customers’ unpaid invoices to the factoring company.
The factoring company verifies the invoice is valid with the manufacturer’s customer (debtor) by obtaining proof such as a bill of lading and then advances the funds minus a reserve to the client.
The factoring company then works with the customer (debtor) to collect the face value of the invoice. Once the debtor pays the invoice the factoring company returns the reserved money minus the discount to the client.
Accounts Receivable Invoice Factoring is a positive resource that helps manufacturing businesses grow, cover payroll, meet operating expenses, and cover cash flow needs.
It is the right solution for any B2B needing immediate cash.
Is Accounts Receivable Factoring a Loan?
No, factoring your accounts receivable doesn’t work like a bank loan. Your accounts receivable is an asset that you sell. There is no loan repayment. It will not impact your credit score. There is no lengthy credit approval process that takes months.
In fact, many companies seek out factoring companies when a bank can’t help them. It’s your money, minus the discount or factoring fee.
The factoring company will advance the client funds based on the credit worthiness of both client and the client’s customer (debtor), both are important, but more weight is given to the customer’s (debtor’s) credit worthiness.
Once both client and customer are vetted, the approval process is quick and easy. In most cases, cash advances can be paid within hours, not weeks or months.

Recourse vs. Non-Recourse Factoring
Great Funds Factoring offers recourse factoring, which is more cost-effective for manufacturing companies. With this type of factoring service, we will work with the debtor to verify the invoice is accurate and viable via proof of delivery. We will then monitor outstanding A/R and work with them to collect payment.
However, if after a period of time, the debtor does not pay GFF and all efforts have been made to collect, the debt goes back to the client and they are responsible for covering the obligation.
With non-recourse factoring, the factoring company assumes all risks if the customer doesn’t pay. This option is more expensive and requires a greater in-depth credit review and scrutiny.
