The main benefit of factoring is the availability of cash on a regular basis. This ultimately improves the profitability of the business, maintains good credit ratings for the business, allows the business to take advantage of discounts for purchases, avoids interest and penalties, funds expansion and growth plans of the business and allows the business to spend more time specializing in its area of expertise.

Factoring services are normally less expensive than maintaining an in-house credit and collection department. Usually, at no cost to the business, the factor will provide extensive credit management and consulting. In effect, a factoring company may act as an accounts receivable department. This can minimize recurring cash flow problems and bad debt losses.

Our venture capital investors base their funding decisions not just on the potential of an idea, but also on the entrepreneurial team’s ability to execute. We’re looking for entrepreneurs with a clear vision of the business they want to build, as well as an extensive understanding and experience of the market space they are addressing. Entrepreneurs must have leadership and team-building skills, including a talent for communicating their ideas and for inspiring others with their vision. Because markets and technologies are rapidly changing, we look for entrepreneurs who can continually learn from, adapt to, and find new ways of profiting from changing conditions.

Accounts receivable factoring (invoice factoring) is the selling of your receivables (invoices) for cash now rather than waiting 30-90 days or more for your customers to pay you. Factoring is a great and relatively inexpensive way to improve your cash flow and get the working capital your business needs.

SunState Consulting provides assistance for companies in their search to factor receivables. We have found that equity financing is harder to find and once found it takes longer to consummate than debt financing. It has been our experience that some companies, especially start-up companies, have been turned down by banks because of the loan underwriting criteria. Many businesses have not considered accounts receivable factoring when looking for financing, possibly because they do not understand it.

Conventional borrowing increases a business’ expenses and normally requires additional collateral. In the case of factoring, instead of analyzing a business’ financial statements, the business is evaluated on the strength of its accounts receivable. If the business has a product or service that it provides to a credit-worthy customer, then the business is a candidate for factoring. A typical advance is anywhere from 80% to as high as 95%, depending on the industry and volume of business. Factoring does not create debt or require additional collateral. It is very simple to use. Cash can be obtained for invoices normally in 24 hours or less, and as often as the business needs.

Purchase Order Financing is short term funding that is used to finance the purchasing or manufacturing of products that have already been pre-sold by the client to a credit worthy customer. This type of financing allows clients to secure the inventory they need to fulfill customer orders while maintaining a healthy cash flow.  PO Financing can be combined with accounts receivable factoring which allows for an advance against receivables after the goods are shipped.

Utilizing PO Financing to Better Your Business:

• Obtaining Sufficient Capital
  Companies that have solid customers and/or sales but do not have the working capital to complete transactions will benefit from PO Financing.
• Transfer of Risk
  Clients transfer the risk of payment by the end customer to the PO Financer.  When PO Financing is combined with Accounts Receivable Factoring, the client is not responsible for the collection of any monies owed.
• Enhanced Profits
  Clients can grow more quickly when they have access to available capital to do more business.  Our clients are able to take on additional clients that they would not have otherwise had the cash-flow to handle by utilizing PO Financing.
• Credit Worthiness
  Since PO Financing is distributed based on the credit-worthiness of your customers, SunState Consulting is able to provide working capital where banks and traditional lenders cannot in cases where the company’s youth,  financial statements, or collateral will not support sufficient borrowing.
• Flexibility
  PO Financing can be used in various ways.  For Example, to fund finished goods that will be shipped directly to the customer, to pay for raw materials or labor costs, or to pay for packaging and shipping costs.
