Accounts Receivable Financing
from Invoice Financing: A Complete Guide to Improving Cash Flow with Factoring, Discounting
by TReDS Guide
Accounts receivable financing is a type of invoice financing where businesses use their accounts receivable as collateral for a loan. This means that businesses borrow money against the value of their unpaid invoices, with the invoices acting as security for the loan. Accounts receivable financing can be useful for businesses that have a strong accounts receivable portfolio and need to access cash quickly.
One of the primary benefits of accounts receivable financing is that it provides fast access to cash without requiring businesses to give up control over their customer relationships. It can also be more cost-effective than factoring finance, as businesses retain ownership of their invoices. However, accounts receivable financing may not be suitable for businesses with a weak credit rating or a low volume of invoices, as lenders may be hesitant to provide financing in these cases.
