Invoice factoring
Invoice factoring lets you sell verified accounts receivable to a third-party factor at a discount, receiving 70 to 90 percent of the invoice value within days. The factor collects payment directly from your customer when the invoice matures, then remits the reserve minus a service fee. Unlike a loan, factoring does not add debt to your balance sheet; you are monetizing an asset you already earned. For businesses along Main Street near the Los Altos History Museum or serving corporate clients in the Foothill Expressway corridor, factoring bridges the gap between completed work and collected revenue without requiring perfect credit or real-estate collateral.
Invoice factoring
Professional-services firms, IT consultants, and specialty manufacturers in Los Altos often land contracts with Fortune 500 buyers or municipal agencies that impose 60-day net terms. When your next project requires hiring subcontractors or purchasing components before the prior invoice clears, invoice factoring injects liquidity on your schedule. Because factors underwrite your customer's creditworthiness rather than yours, a startup with strong clients can qualify faster than it would for a traditional bank line.
