Factoring in Finance: Fuel for Growth, Not Just Survival

Table of Contents

Introduction

There is no doubt that finance is the main fuel of every business. Companies that offer credit periods understand the importance of getting paid on time. The longer the duration of unpaid invoices, the bigger the problem for businesses. Factoring in finance is a financial solution that can help address various pain points for businesses. 

Factoring Finance, which is also known as invoice discounting or bill discounting in India, is selling of unpaid invoices to a Factoring company and getting instant cash to run the business efficiently. It removes every kind of financial pressure from the business to get unnecessary credit and act as the fuel for growth and not just for survival. 

How does factoring work & fuels business growth?

Growth is the dream of every revenue earning business irrespective of their size. Growth demands cash-flow stability which can be difficult to maintain when a company has slow-paying customers or long payment cycles. Additionally not having enough capital in the account and the unavailability of working capital finance without collateral or security hampers the growth of such companies. 

In such cases, selling unpaid invoices to a factoring company provides cash faster, which can be used to fuel the implications of growth including sales, overheads such as headcount, stock purchase, materials, etc.  

Let’s say you run a b2b business and waiting to get paid from other business/company that has used your services/products. Due to traditional waiting period between 30-60 days all your time is consumed in arranging the funds to fuel your working capital and somehow find a way to grow your business at the same time. Because your business require working capital to cover day-to-day operational expenses, invest in growth opportunities, purchase inventory, or hire additional staff.
