| In an ideal world, you would get paid as soon as your completed work. However, the reality is we aren’t always paid immediately for the goods or services that we render. Unfortunately for trucking companies, that can be difficult. There are expenses such as insurance, tags, or salaries that require cash and if you aren’t paid in cash right away, it can be a big hassle for your business and jeopardize your progress.
One of the solutions that is used to assist trucking companies in staying productive is called freight bill factoring. Freight bill factoring pays cash to trucking companies in advance in exchange for their invoices. That can provide peace of mind for companies because it means that the stability and progress of their company doesn’t depend on the timeliness of their clients’ payments. After all, when a client is billed, even if they are extremely responsive and pay quickly, there is still a lag between the completion on the job and the payment.
An accounts receivable account can increase cash flow while reducing the headache of credit or collections problems. In essence, a company acts as something of a financial mediator between your clients and your company. They front money to your company and allow you to focus on developing your company as opposed to tracking down debtors. The factoring company takes care of that aspect of your business. Additionally, if a factoring company factors an invoice on a “non-recourse” basis, the ‘Factor’ takes the credit risk of the customer, protecting the client from credit loss. When an invoice is factored “with recourse,” it means that the client is responsible for payment if the customer does not pay. From that standpoint, utilizing truck factoring reduces a credit risk to your company. With the difficulty of obtaining credit, not only can loans be risky, it is also increasingly difficult to get the funding that are so vital to your business.
Using a truck factoring company also is good for employee morale because it ensures that they receive regular pay, as opposed to being paid whenever the money from their jobs comes in. Many factoring companies can send money within 24 hours of receiving invoice. Factoring companies also don’t leave you in limbo, wondering whether or not your accounts are reconciled. Instead, they offer a 24 hour online client center so you can see current aging, cash applications, and anything else you might want to know about your factored accounts online, at any time that you need to see.
