Construction - Funding - Factoring

Construction

Funding a construction firm is considered one of the more challenging tasks in the world of finance. But there are solutions. The payment terms are often unfavourable in an industry which can often include multiple layers of contractors and subcontractors, forcing you to wait 30-120 days to receive payment from work which you have already completed.

Immediate Access to Cash

This can stop even the most profitable firms from getting on with the next job and growing their business. Having immediate access to this cash will allow you to pay for staff, materials, equipment hire and other suppliers required so you can bid more competitively on those large upcoming projects. Just what you need when margins are already tight.

This cash flow solution comes in the form of invoice factoring which will help you increase the size of the projects you can take on. Construction factoring allows you to effectively advance the major part of the payment(s) you are expecting to receive from a job you have completed so you don't have to wait the full 30-120 days and can get on with funding the next project.

How does Invoice Factoring work?
Invoice Factoring provides you with both the cash you need to make more sales and the time you need to make those sales. Here's how it works:

Step 1 (Invoice) - You raise an invoice with a customer, containing information on how much the customer needs to pay and in how many days.

Step 2 (Cash Advance) - You send a copy of this invoice to the invoice factoring lender, who may send over up to 100% of the value of the invoice, often all occurring within 24 hours.

Step 3 (Growth) - You now have the cash available to cover the costs of your next job, cover staff costs and pay for any other materials you may need to grow your business sales.

Step 4 (Repayment) - Being an invoice factoring facility, you will not have to do much else. The lender will collect the payment at the previously agreed date from your client and send over the remaining value of the invoice you did not initially receive, minus pre arranged fees.
