AnswerMy business has federal tax liens due to our cash flow situation, Can I qualify?


It is possible, but it may depend on your situation. In order for a factoring company to factor receivables, it must retain 1st position lien rights to your accounts receivable. We can convert your receivables to cash and pay the balance to the tax entity so they can release the lien all at the same time. Or, you can set up a payment plan with the tax entity so we can provide funding for your business. Call us for more details as each case has been unique.


AnswerWhat does it cost to factor receivables?


A factoring fee can range from as low as 1% to 6%.

Our clients have grown their businesses and increased their bottom line by factoring. It will cost you more money if you are missing out business opportunities by not having adequate working capital. The question you should ask is not what factoring will cost, but will factoring benefit my business by having cash today and not wait 30-60 or even 90 days?
