Factoring – Outsourced Credit Control

While factoring is a valuable source of working capital for businesses it is also an excellent way of reducing the administration burden a business owner can face. By outsourcing the credit control function you are putting it in the hands of the professionals.

Factoring companies have systems that can easily send out reminder letters and end of month statements. Combine this with their experience in collecting in debts and you will probably agree they are well placed to provide your credit control.

It is however worth noting that different companies operate in a very different way. Some will only send out letters and statements, others will telephone your largest debtors and others will chase every single invoice that becomes overdue by telephone. It is important to understand this when comparing any quote.

Ask yourself what type of service you really want and whether or not that represents good value?

By outsourcing the credit control it frees up more time for you to do what you do best which is growing your business.

Overdraft or Invoice Finance

I am often asked whether an invoice finance facility is cheaper than an overdraft facility. In short the answer is ‘no’.

An invoice finance facility is typically more expensive than an overdraft facility. This is because of the workload involved in administering an invoice finance facility.

However, it is worth considering the following points?

  1. Is an overdraft a genuine option? Is your bank willing to offer you an overdraft facility? If not then it is not worth trying to compare the cost as it is not a genuine option.
  2. What security do they require in order to offer you the overdraft? Do they want to secure the facility on your family home?
  3. Will the overdraft facility be flexible enough to support your growth plans? As your turnover grows so will your requirement for working capital. While an overdraft facility is static an invoice finance facility will grow as your sales grow.

If you have been offered an overdraft facility and you are happy with the security requirements and the size of the facility then it may well be your best option.

If as I suspect this is not the case it is important to explore your invoice finance options properly.
