Sources of finance for businesses are at all time low. Not so long ago, banks and other financial companies had enough monies on their hands and they got these funds quite economically. At that time, these institutions were forced to find people who would be willing to take loans at interest rates even nominally higher than the rates at which the funds were procured. Recession reversed the scenario completely, and the United States’ federal government is now at wits end on what would be the correct measures to bring back the buoyancy. New policies are being announced with considerable regularity to kick-start the economy.

In the meanwhile, however, the finance options before the new, growing, small, and mediums sized business enterprises (SMEs) have virtually dried up. SMEs are able to forego business loans, as they can defer their long-term plans. But how can they avoid paying wages to employees, or for materials that they purchase? So they need working capital desperately.

Some lenders do have some monies to lend but they ask for securities that SMEs are unable to provide. Moreover, interest rates on these loans are ridiculously high, making such borrowing non-viable option. Larger businesses do not face such problems, because they have enough assets to provide as security for such loans. Even otherwise, their cash flows are much higher, and since they too would have deferred their long-term plans, they are left with adequate cash for their working capital.

In such bleak conditions, invoice factoring offers a sigh of relief for SMEs. Invoice factoring is a way of getting finance from some lender against the security of invoices raised on some credit worthy customers. The operative words here are credit worthy customers. Obviously, factoring companies would prefer to lend to SMEs that have credit worthy companies as their customers rather than several credit worthy individual customers. In other words, this type of finance is available for business-to-business sales or the commercial sales.

Commercial sales normally imply 30 to 60 days credit period for the customer. Unwillingness to offer such credit period might mean loss of customer for the SMEs, which they can ill afford. Therefore, offering such period of credit is necessary. However, the scale of operations in SMEs is not adequate to absorb higher interest charges that it would incur to accommodate such period of credit. For example, the company sells a product for $10, and the total invoice is for $10000. The period of credit offered is 60 days. In the meanwhile, the company needs some funds to pay monthly wages. Therefore, it borrows for a short term from the bank, incurring interest charges of $2000 for the period. If the margin of profit in the $10 product is just $2, then this interest wipes away $2 from it, effectively leaving the businesses with no profits! 

The large businesses houses do not have this problem, as SMEs are already competing to give them additional period of credit. So working capital problems trouble the SMEs more acutely than they affect large businesses. By factoring invoices, the SMEs can unlock the capital blocked in their debtors, and put it to better use, thereby avoiding any loans that carry much higher interest rates.

Another plus point of invoice factoring or factoring of accounts receivable is that more finance is available with higher invoice values. This is quite unlike the regular working capital finance wherein there are overall limits, irrespective of the sales values.
