Factoring is the purchase and sale of accounts receivable, represented by invoices, at a discount. An "account receivable" is money owed to your company
by your customer for goods sold and delivered and/or services performed. The "discount" is the face value of the invoice (100%) minus the advance
rate paid to you by the factoring company. Since we advance 80%, the discount is 20%. However, you are entitled to a portion of the discount
depending upon the timeliness of collection, in the form of a "Rebate."
How do you handle problematic invoices?
Invoices become problematic if they become older than 90 days, are disputed by your customer, or your customer mistakenly pays you. Therefore,
problematic invoices represent money you owe back to us, which must be repaid either from your unpaid rebates, all or part of advances regarding
new transactions, or by some other means.
Explain your factoring agreement
It is flexible
You can factor when you need to, but you can't inconsistently factor and not factor invoices for the same customer. We call this the "Rule
of Reason," because your customers will set us up as the payee and will become angry if you attempt to turn that on and off. So, pick the
customers you want to factor and factor all their invoices.

Commissions
Yes. Brokers are paid 1% of the amount a referred client factors when the client is funded, rather than after collection, which is the industry standard,
as long as the client continues to factor. Fillable-Faxable Client Registration Form.

Do I mail my own invoices to my customers?
No. You cannot mail, deliver, etc. your own invoices to your customers
Since factoring is a purchase of your invoices and not a loan collateralized by your invoices, your invoices must be paid to us, and not
to you.
Our invoice form contains special assignment language required by the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).
We mail all invoices to our clients customers. If they were also to receive invoices from our clients, they would have two (2) invocies,
and become confused. This will slow down the payment process and increase your factoring cost.
Receipt of payment by you is a breach of the factoring agreement.
We mail all invoices using our templated invoice form.
