Contract & Invoice Financing
Contracts are rarely paid in advance, yet, without cash flow, there may not be funds to fulfill demand. Contract financing provides a solution to this problem by allowing businesses to get paid upfront or as soon as the contract is signed. Whether you need to begin, continue or complete a project, leverage your business’s contracts, payroll to get the cash you need to see it through.

How It Works:
Factoring starts with an evaluation of your contract or invoice flow, per project value, repayment timeline and the types and credibility of clients. The factoring agreement will take these elements into account to determine rates and timelines. Once you have a factoring agreement in place, the best thing is that your business can return to it again and again, adding new deals for immediate cash flow.

Alternatives:
If you need funds for general expenses, consider:
Working Capital Loans
Working capital is essential to running a business. Every business needs to pay rent, utilities and other everyday expenses. But during slow seasonal cycles, it’s almost impossible to meet these obligations. Working capital financing offers short-term loans to keep your business afloat during a shortage of working capital. Get cash on hand to handle everyday costs, payroll, and unforeseeable expenses.
Refinance Existing Debt
Reduce monthly costs by refinancing debt. Sometimes a squeeze isn’t just an issue of the velocity of money. If you are carrying costs, refinancing can open up funds by reducing monthly payables. Talk with a loan broker to see if refinancing could be right for you.
