“SMALL BUSINESS FACTORING
AND
INVOICE DISCOUNTING
IMPROVES WORKING CAPITAL”
Avoid the small business cash flow dilemma with invoice
discounting. Factoring, sometimes called invoice discounting, is a financial
solution that allows small
to mid-sized businesses to obtain working
capital with the speed and reliability usually reserved for larger corporations. Invoice
discounting works for many types
of businesses, especially start-up,
high-growth and cyclical companies.
It is uniquely suited for under-capitalized
companies with a strong customer base,
or for turnarounds or companies
that may be going through problems but see
a strong future. Small business
factoring will help you increase working capital, improve your credit rating,
increase purchasing power, increase production and sales, and most
importantly, drive your growth.
The Benefits of Small Business Factoring
Small business factoring increases your purchasing
power. It supports your critical and recurring company expenses like payroll, rent, operating costs and key vendors in a timely manner.
You obtain immediate working capital
advances and professional accounts receivable management.
It can quickly provide you with cash.
It creates no new debt for your company.
Small Business Factoring allows you to obtain working capital based on the credit of your customers, not your company, so factoring is a possibility even if your credit is less than perfect.
It can increase your company's productivity and profits.
It allows you to stay focused on your core business
rather than taking your time
up with the tedious and difficult details of accounts receivable management.
It also can lower your accounting costs with the collections assistance

Small business factoring allows you to take advantage of supplier
discounts and build your credit. An accelerated cash flow will
allow you to either pay your vendors earlier or buy in larger quantities.
Often, you can offset the cost of factoring
by taking advantage of
discounts offered by your suppliers when you pay earlier
or buy in
larger quantities.
Small business factoring allows you to attract more business by offering
better terms of sale. Most companies negotiate on price to
win business in a competitive market, but with invoice discounting
you can negotiate terms instead of price.
To your customers, better
terms can be more attractive than better prices. When using attractive
terms to win business, you can build the cost of factoring into your
costs of goods and services.
Praxis provides flexibility to you and your business.
It is a key cash management tool. You can factor as many, or as few, invoices as you wish: it is
your decision. There are no long-term obligations,
no multi-year binding
contracts, and
no minimums or maximums in the amount you must factor.
Remember, invoice discounting is based on the strength of your customers.
