What is
Freight
Factoring?

Freight factoring (also referred to as invoice factoring, or accounts receivable factoring) is a form of financing designed for truckers.

Factoring is when you sell unpaid invoices to a factoring company. The factoring company pays you same day for your invoices, then waits for your customer to pay them back.

FAQ

Ask us anything

What is freight factoring?

Freight factoring (also known as accounts receivable factoring or invoice factoring) is the process of selling your unpaid invoices to a factoring company. The factoring company then pays you immediately and waits for your customer to pay. Freight factoring is helpful because it shortens the time you have to wait for payment. This immediate cash allows you to focus on growing your business rather than on tracking down payments.

Freight factoring is not a loan.

A loan is borrowing money, but factoring is selling an asset. The asset that the factoring company purchases from you is accounts receivable (that is, the money that your customers owe you). The factoring company gives you money today in exchange for the money you would receive in 30 days.

No, you may not work with more than one factoring company.

Due to the legal structure of a factoring agreement, and how factoring companies secure receivables, you are not able to have more than one factoring company at any given time.

No. You have the freedom to decide which loads to factor.

Although Flexent Freight Funding gives you the freedom to pick and choose which loads to factor, we do ask that you direct all payments to us. Any payments for unfactored loads will be returned to you. Directing all payments to a single location prevents confusion among your customers and ensures that all factored loads are paid off.

No. We only offer recourse factoring.

Recourse factoring means that we purchase your invoices for an allotted period (generally 45 days). If your customer fails to pay within that period, we will return the invoices to you. Think of it like returning a faulty product. The longer a customer takes to pay, the more difficult it will be for us to collect payment, so we reserve the right to return unpaid invoices after the allotted time period. This form of factoring is often cheaper than the alternative.

Non-recourse factoring means that the factor purchases the invoices permanently, and cannot return them, even if your customer does not pay. In this form of factoring, the factor takes on more risk, and so often charges more for the service.
