What industries will benefit from Debtor Finance / Invoice Factoring
Retail industry
The retail industry is very competitive. The big retailers will push their suppliers on every angle and specifically on payment terms. Invoice factoring will provide your business with the cashflow where you do not need to wait for your payment up to 90 days. The large retailers payment processes are very complex. If you do not submit your statements and other required documents according to their requirements they will not make payments on the due date. Finrock has decades of experience dealing with the large retailers and will streamline the collections from the large retailers to ensure that payments are made as soon as possible in line with the agreements. An invoice factoring facility will increase your working capital through collecting your outstanding invoices more effectively and advancing an upfront cash payment of 75% of your invoice thereby making your business more sustainable and profitable.
Manufacturing
The key to a profitable manufacturing business is to deliver a quality product and to maintain your profit margins. Invoice factoring will provide you with cashflow to negotiate better volume-based prices from your suppliers and higher settlement discounts making your business more profitable.
Transport and Logistics
Diesel suppliers are very restrictive in allowing SME’s to purchase on credit and an invoice factoring facility will provide you with the cashflow to purchase diesel and consequently grow your business. With the high cost of diesel an invoice factoring facility will provide the cashflow to enable you to negotiate much better cash prices and will make your business more profitable.
Importers
Foreign suppliers will seldom provide a credit facility and generally the payment terms include a deposit and the remainder due on presentation of the Bill of Lading. The working capital cycle is significantly increased for businesses with foreign suppliers. An invoice factoring facility will provide you with working capital to pay your foreign suppliers and increase your inventory and your sales making your business more profitable.
