Freight factoring (A.K.A truck factoring or invoice factoring) ensures your company has the proper capital to cover overhead costs, pay employees, and get the materials needed for your business. So how does it work? Let’s go back to the situation from above.

Instead of walking out empty-handed, you can sell the invoice to a factoring company. They will give you 80% of what the invoice is worth. You’ll have cash ready to use within 24 hours. Then, the factoring company will collect the payment from your client/customer and give you the remainder, minus a small fee.

“Okay,” you think. “This sounds great, but what should I look for in a factoring company?” We’re glad you asked. Below we’ll run through what a good factoring company looks like.

What to Look ForTruck Factoring, Freight Factoring - paid in full stamp

There are several things to look for in a factoring company. Like:

Quick Payment: Great factoring companies should pay you within 24-48 hours. They should also understand that money is the lifeblood of your business. You can’t work without it. So if a factoring company you’re considering can’t pay you when you need it, move on. Don’t waste your time waiting.

Customer Management: No one likes waiting on payment. No one likes having to call about payment either. That’s why a great factoring company will do that for you. After all, they know you don’t have time to make calls. You need to focus on the business. So they’ll handle all the calls for you. Plus, they’ll help you “break up” with clients who aren’t worth it.

Suppose this a moment. You have a client that never pays on time. No matter when you deliver the load, they always have an excuse. You know they won’t change but can’t seem to break free. A great factoring company will take a look at your client list and see whose credit isn’t worth it. If they find a client with bad credit, they’ll tell you. That way, you’ll a have a solid reason to officially not work with the late paying client. The bonus is that with the right factoring company, you’ll never have to worry about late payments again.

Support: Everyone needs support now and then, and great factoring companies know it. So if you have an urgent question that needs answering, you should know who to call and when they’ll answer.

Business Loans: A reputable factoring company should offer more than just factoring. Imagine this a moment: you’re getting a lot of new business due to increased demand for trucking services in the marketplace. The customers are flocking to you. There’s just one problem. You don’t enough have trucks to deliver the loads. So what can you do? Get a business loan from your factoring company. They’ll already know you so it’ll make the process that much easier. With the right factoring company you can grow your business can paycheck.
