What is Factoring?

Simply put factoring is the sale of an invoice or several invoices where you receive 80-95% of the invoice right away. We wait for the invoice to pay 30 or 60 days later and depending on the time the invoice was outstanding and how much you factor, we apply a fee or discount. Once the fee is applied and any short payments are accounted for we refund the difference. Once you are a Newport Funding Client we fund same day or within 24 hours.

When Should I factor?

When the bank is not an option

If you’re finding it difficult to get financing from the bank, you can factor your invoices in order to receive quick cash. The Bank requires historical information and equity requirements where factoring relies heavily on the strength of the customer to qualify for funding.

When your customers are credit worthy

We do evaluate your company’s creditworthiness and the owner of the company but we don’t rely heavily on this information to provide the funding it’s only part of the story. Factoring allows for past bankruptcy, no credit and little credit history. More importantly we assess your client’s credit worth to determine your credit limits. In order for factoring to work successfully, your clients must be credit worthy and able to pay within 30-60 days. Depending on the situation and credit of the customer longer terms maybe acceptable.

If you have payables

Factoring will keep your credit strong by paying your suppliers on time, building your credit limits and help minimize any additional interest costs and allow you to take quick pay discounts.

If you’re a growing company

If your company is growing where you have to pay your employees or your suppliers and you can`t wait for your invoice payments (30-60 days) factoring may be an opportunity for you. It allows you to get paid upfront without being slowed down or delayed by your accounts receivables. You can double and triple your sales and continue to access more capital as account credit limits are directly related to your outstanding invoices.

If you are a new company

If you are a startup company and producing invoices with terms greater than required for you to pay suppliers including payroll, taxes, rent and inventory, factoring may be a good option for you. It provides a way to maintain your ongoing cash flow and the opportunity to grow your company. There is no debt associated to factoring as it is a sale of an asset so it won’t negatively affect your balance sheet. Once you have some profitable history you’ll be in the perfect place for a line of credit with the bank.

If you have tax arrears

If you have tax arrears it is crucial to eliminate the interest and penalties. If the full payment can’t be made up front with the funds from factoring, we can help negotiate terms for a payment plan.
