Instant Cash
Flow

Instant Cash for your Invoices and Credit
Card Receviables
If you are
like most business owners, you probably have to wait for 30-90
days for your credit card receivables and to get paid on your
invoices and still have to make timely payroll, rent,
credit card and other payments. With constant cash flow
problems, it’s hard to keep your business afloat, not to
mention expanding it to create
profits.
Most business
fail because of cash flow problems. In today’s economy, it's
very difficult to get a traditional business loan. A typical
business loan requires lots of paperwork, collateral, personal
guarantee, a high credit score, and the use of funds you
receive is often limited. The process may take from 3 weeks to
2 months and the approval rates are vey
low.
In sharp
contrast, credit card receivables and
invoice factoring is an easy streamlined program allowing
you to receive, for a small discount, a large portion of your
receivable up front. All you have to do is fill out a one- page
application:
If you have
outstanding Visa or Master credit card receivables, you can get
unsecured accounts receivable factoring of $10,000 upto
$500,000. Use accoutns receivable factoring to
create positive cash flow.

In essence,
credit card receivables and invoice factoring
converts your invoice terms to COD (cash-on-delivery).
Instead of waiting 30 to 90 days, you receive a
substantial portion of your receivable up front so you
can re-invest your cash and double the
revenue.

Positive cash
flow helps rapidly and exponentially grow your small
business - your profits will increase, not decrease,
despite the discount you pay to the factoring company – the
factor. Here is how it works. Let’s say you make a 20% profit
on your current investment. Credit card and invoice factoring
allow you to double your investment thereby doubling the
profit. So if your net profit is $100,000 a year, you can
increase it to $200,000 AND resolve your cash flow
problems.
In contrast,
let’s say you borrow $100,000 from the bank at a 12% APR. You
will be making monthly payments of $1,000.00 and at the end of
the year will have paid $12,000. With small business factoring,
your fees would be around 5% a month but you would receive a
$100,000.00 every month so that at the end of the year your
fees would be $60,000.00 but you would have received $1,200,000
($100.000 x 12 months). When you re-invest the money you
received from small business factoring, your profits will
sky-rocket.
All you need to
establish a small business factoring account is to be a
registered business, including start-ups, with accounts
receivable due by credit-worthy customers. You can qualify even
if you already have a loan and have a new business.
Bad credit is OK. It is the credit worthiness of your
customers that counts.
Here is how it
works: the factor redirects payment on your letterhead
from your address to their P.O. Box. Large corporations
frequently request payments be sent to a separate lockbox, so
your client will not have to know that you are using the
services of a
factoring company.
Let’s say your
company sells a $10,000 worth of credit card receivables.
Within 24 hours, you will receive at least 80% of the
transaction or $8,000.00 wired directly into your bank account.
Your client pays the factor the full $10,000.00 and the factor
immediately sends you the remaining 20% or the $2,000 minus the
factoring fee. The reserve accounts are cleared daily so there
are never any delays tying up your
money.
The rates and fees vary
depending on industry and the amount of the
factoring.
Credit
card receviables and invoice factoring is one of the oldest
forms of financing. It enables companies to create a positive
cash flow by receiving their credit card receivables at
the instant they become due thereby freeing their cash up for
expansion, payroll, and all other epxenses.
A word of caution: factoring
companies vary greatly in how they conduct business and
those differences can have huge impact on the speed,
quality and value of services you receive. For example,
some factoring companies require thorough financial
information, minimums, term contracts, personal
guarantees, or a lien on your receivable, all of which
can significantly slow down the process, make factoring
more costly and expose you to personal financial
liability.
Most small business
factoring companies are simply middle men selling leads.
They will send your application
to literally hundreds of other companies, inundating you with
useless spam and introducing you to lower grade companies you
may not wish to do business with. The biggest risk of applying to multiple
companies is that your business may end up with a lien on your
account receivable even before you receive any money, which
will then make you ineligible for factoring.
The way this works is that
some factoring companies have inserted small print
language into their applications allowing them to file a
lien against your accounts receivable as soon as you sign
the application, which is before they advance any money to
you. This makes you
ineligible for applying to any other company.
The best way is to avoid
companies that file liens altogether. You can obtain a merchant loan without
agreeing to a lien on your accounts
receivable.
You should also be aware that the cheapest
rates do not translate into the best service. The factoring
company you ultimately chose may at some point come in contact
with your clients, especially for collection purposes, so you
need to make sure that they are professional and will not
alienate the clients you worked so hard to develop. Here are
some key areas you need to research before you decide on a
factoring company:
-
 |
customer
service |
 |
collection
practices |
 |
invoice
ledgering |
 |
float
days |
 |
aging
and other reports |
The factoring company you
choose will provide actual management services to your
business, including credict checks and screening, invoice and
payment reporting, monthly statements for your customers and
delinquent account collections. You want to make sure that you
get the highest quality of those services to get your money’s
worth -- some factoring companies, for example, provide ledgers
that can be securely downloaded directly into your company’s
bookkeeping software thus reducing your accounting
costs.

OTHER FORMS OF
BUSINESS LOANS
Aside from credit card
receivable and invoice funding, CashExpress can arrange the
following types of business loans for your
business:
Asset Based
Loans
The asset based
loan program is available to healthcare practices and medical
professionals operating their own practice. The practitioner
must be licensed a minimum of 2 years but the business may be a
start up. Medical practices owned and operated by non-medical
professionals do not qualify for asset based loans. After
approval, funds are issued directly to the medical professional
for the benefit of the practice and can be repaid in up to 84
months.
Purchase Order
Funding
If your business
is unable to complete a Purchase Order (P.O.) because it lacks
the funds for the required materials, purchase order funding
may provide capital and/or guarantees in the form of Letter Of
Credit (LOC) to acquire goods or services in order to fulfill
the Purchase Order. There is usually a $100,000 minimum with a
fair gross margin of twenty five percent (25%) or more to our
client. Purchase Order funding is available to most business
with the exception of building contactors.
Medical Factoring
Medical factoring allows healthcare providers to
receive immediate cash for their billings to third-party
payors (i.e. commercial insurance companies, HMO’s, Blue
Cross/Blue Shield, Medicare and Medicaid). The
factors purchase the healthcare provider’s billings at a
discount and collect payments from the third party
payors. To qualify for this program, the business
must have average monthly billings of at least
$35,000.
