Benefits of Invoice Receivables
What are the benefits of selling your accounts receivables and other income streams?
· It stimulates cash flow.
· It relies on the strength of a business' customers.
· It is accessible.
· It gets quick results.
· It is flexible.
· It increases your purchasing power, enabling you to do more business.
· It saves on your in-house staffing costs.
In many situations, receivables funding is more appropriate than bank financing, because it:
· Is based only on the accounts receivable. A client’s ability to raise cash is based on the total accounts receivable, rather than on traditional measures of financial strength and stability.
· Provides continuing cash flow without the requirement of periodic payments or interim payoffs. New sales continuously create new power to obtain cash, and the business does not have to deal with renewal of loans or worry about maturity dates.
· Gives a business increased access to cash as sales and receivables increase. There is no ceiling beyond which the funding source must stop providing cash. The more sales a business makes, the more cash it can draw. The funding source does not concentrate on the business debt/equity ratio to provide funds, as banks do.
· Offers a dependable, continuing source of cash without the necessity of making separate loan applications.
· Does not create debt on your balance sheet.
· Avoids the necessity of obtaining funds from venture capitalists, who receive an interest in the business and generally have a say in how the business is run.
· Saves the business owner precious time waiting for a loan board to grant or deny his or her loan. Loan boards’ decisions are influenced by many considerations, and the outcome is often unpredictable. With receivables funding, periodic delays and negotiations are eliminated, allowing the business owner time to do what he or she does best – run the business.
