Invoice Factoring: What To Know Before Investing [October 2024]


In business, cashflow is the lifeline for every company. So when funding becomes urgent, some companies need invoices paid faster than scheduled. Enter invoice factoring. 

Factoring provides a business expedited invoice payment at a discounted rate. In exchange for this cash injection, investors collect a tax based on how prompt invoices are paid. And with fewer bank loans available, the need for cashflow from private investors presents you an opportunity. 

For alternative investors like you, invoice factoring can provide another stream of income. And since factoring is not isolated to one industry, that flexibility helps you stay agile. Curious if it's right for your investing goals? To verify if factoring is for you, come learn the basics with the Executive Director of the International Factoring Association, Tania Daniel.

Watch this replay if you want to learn how to:

  • Explain factoring investments and how they work
  • Differentiate factoring from traditional bank financing
  • Describe the potential benefits and risks to your strategy
  • Minimize risk by partnering with the right factors
