What is Invoice Financing / Factoring?

Invoice financing — commonly known as factoring — is a financial service that enables businesses to sell their accounts receivable (invoices) to a financing provider in exchange for immediate cash. Instead of waiting 30, 60 or 90 days for customers to pay, you receive a significant portion of the invoice value up front. Central Bancompany offers both recourse and non-recourse structures, flexible advance rates and integrated receivables management to fit your working capital needs.

Key Benefits

• Immediate cash flow: Convert outstanding invoices into working capital within 24–72 hours.
• Predictable operations: Smooth out seasonal cycles and manage payroll, suppliers and growth initiatives with confidence.
• Credit control support: Optional receivables management, collections and credit checks help reduce administrative burden.
• Scalable funding: As your sales grow, available financing increases with your receivables — avoid repeated loan applications.
• Balance sheet flexibility: Improve liquidity ratios and accelerate reinvestment without diluting ownership.

How It Works — Simple, Fast, Transparent

1. Apply: Quick pre-qualification with minimal documentation. We assess debtor creditworthiness and typical invoice cycles.
2. Approve Facility: Receive a tailored facility limit and terms based on your invoice portfolio and industry characteristics.
3. Sell Invoices: Submit approved invoices via our secure portal or integrated accounting APIs.
4. Get Paid: Receive an advance of the invoice value — typically 70% to 90% — within business days.
5. Final Settlement: When the customer pays, we remit the remaining balance to you, less fees and agreed charges.

Optional services include debtor monitoring, international factoring for cross-border receivables and tailored advances for long-term contracts.

Who Should Consider Factoring?

Invoice financing suits a broad range of industries and business models, especially where B2B payment terms create cash flow gaps. Typical candidates include:

• Manufacturers and distributors with large order volumes and extended payment terms.
• Service providers such as consultancies, staffing firms and agencies billing clients on net terms.
• Wholesale traders and import/export businesses managing inventory and international receivables.
• Growing companies that prefer non-dilutive financing to support rapid expansion.

Pricing & Terms

Central Bancompany offers competitive, transparent pricing structured around:

• Advance rate: Percentage of invoice value advanced immediately.
• Discount/fee: A fee charged on the invoice amount or on days outstanding; varies by credit risk and invoice aging.
• Service charges: Optional receivables management or credit protection incur additional, clearly disclosed fees.
• Facility limit and duration: Agreed upfront with flexibility to renew or scale as your business grows.

We prioritize clarity: no hidden fees, straightforward statements and predictable cost structures so you can model financing costs against margin and growth plans.
