Running a business can be rewarding but also challenging. What COVID-19 has shown is that companies must be positioned to quickly adapt or run the risk of going out of business. More than ever businesses need financial solutions that are more agile, to allow them to pivot their operations and adapt to any economic conditions. Instead of resorting to traditional rigid business loans, companies should explore an agile and flexible funding solution such as debt factoring.
Debt factoring breathes with your business and funding is more closely aligned to sales. As your business grows so can your debt factoring facility and access to funds.
The exposure to the factoring company is only ever a percentage of your factored sales at a point in time, which reflects where the business activity is throughout the year. As the business grows so do the sales, and as it contracts so do the sales.
Should the business retract, a fixed business loan does not adjust accordingly. It was most likely taken at a time of growth and as such reflects the business at that previous point in time. Repayments must be met but the circumstances of the business have changed, and it might be difficult to maintain your cash flow throughout this time of reduced activity.
The money you can get from debt factoring your invoices allows you to stay operational during the quieter times and scale-up production or staff for the busy times.
Unlike a loan, debt factoring allows you to access an untapped asset, your accounts receivable and bring it forward. Instead of waiting for up to 90 days for your clients to pay, you can cover the gap by converting your unpaid invoices into immediate cash.
Unlike traditional business loans where security is normally taken over property, plant, equipment or even a blanket security over all the company’s assets, debt factoring only takes security over the accounts receivable.
Debt factoring focuses more on the strength of the debtors and the quality of the ledger, so it can also be a suitable option for start-ups and turnaround companies.
