Could your business use cash now to fund current expense with future income?

Sometimes you cannot get financing for your business through a bank, but you have promised future income through accounts receivables or outstanding invoices. Wouldn't it be nice if you could get a lump sum of cash now for that future income stream? Then you could focus on your business and not have to worry when the receivables will be paid. The Oliver Company is here to facilitate turning money owed to you into cash in hand now.

Receivable Funding (factoring) is sometimes more appropriate than bank financing, because:

• Accounts receivable funding is based only on the accounts receivable. A client's ability to raise cash by Receivables Funding is based on the total accounts receivable, rather than on traditional measures of financial strength and stability.
• Receivables funding provides continuing cash flow without the requirement of periodic payments or interim payoffs. New sales continuously creates new power to obtain cash, and the business does not have to deal with renewal of loans or worry about maturity dates.
• Factoring gives a business increased access to cash as sales and receivables increase. There is no ceiling beyond which the factor must stop providing cash. The more sales a business makes, the more cash it can draw. The factor does not concentrate on the business debt/equity ratio to provide funds, as banks do.
• Factoring offers a dependable, continuing source of cash without the necessity of making separate loan applications.
• Receivables funding 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.
• Receivables funding 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 factoring, periodic delays and negotiations are eliminated, allowing the business owner time to do what he or she does best - run the business.
• Because of the added cash factoring can provide, you have extra bargaining power in dealing with suppliers. You can take advantage of quantity discounts, or prompt payment discounts.

Accounts Receivable funding can help your business because:

• Receivables funding stimulates cash flow.
• Receivables funding relies on the strength of a business's customers.
• Receivables funding is accessible.
• Receivables funding gets quick results.
• Receivables funding is flexible.
