Recourse factoring falls under the umbrella term of invoice financing. In this blog we will talk you through its key benefits, including credit control and sales ledger management.
For businesses, maintaining a healthy cash flow is paramount to sustainable growth. However, extended customer payment terms can create a significant cash flow gap, hindering the ability to seize opportunities and meet financial obligations. Recourse factoring is a valuable solution, enabling businesses to convert unpaid invoices: into working capital.
Many businesses face the reality of long invoicing terms. Whilst the work has already been carried out, the invoices are not due to be settled for weeks, or even months, leading to a cash flow crunch. This can disrupt operations, hinder growth initiatives, and create a domino effect of financial strain.
Recourse factoring offers a strategic approach to overcoming this challenge. By selling the outstanding invoices to an invoice finance provider (factor), the business receives an upfront advance (typically 80% invoice value). This cash injection bridges the gap caused by invoice terms, enabling the business to operate seamlessly.
Improved cash flow management: Recourse factoring streamlines cash flow cycle, by removing the waiting period to receive customer payments. This frees up valuable resources and allows the business to effectively manage inventory, invest in strategic initiatives, and fulfil payroll obligations on time.
Focus on core business activities: Recourse factoring eliminates the time and effort spent on managing credit control. This allows resources to be focused on core business activities such as strategic planning, customer relationship management, and product development – areas crucial for sustainable growth.
Creditworthiness: Traditional financing options often require high credit scores, or come at a higher price. Recourse factoring offers a more accessible alternative. Even if your credit history is not pristine, the business can still benefit from recourse factoring to unlock working capital. Invoice finance providers look at the creditworthiness of the business’s clients.
The recourse factoring process is designed for efficiency:
If your business struggles with credit control management and cash flow, recourse factoring can be a strategic solution. It injects working capital into your operations, allowing you to focus on your business and eliminate the time-consuming task of sales ledger management. By optimising your cash flow cycle, recourse factoring can propel your business towards sustainable growth.
