Invoice factoring sells your unpaid B2B or B2G invoices to a factoring company at a discount. The factoring firm advances 70-90% of the invoice value immediately, then collects directly from your customer. Once your customer pays, you receive the remaining balance minus the factoring fee. This is not a loan; it's a purchase of receivables, so approval hinges on your customers' creditworthiness, not your own business credit score or collateral.
Waterbury's industrial base, brass fabricators along Freight Street, precision-machine shops near the Mixville section, and contract manufacturers serving aerospace clients, often ships product weeks before payment arrives. Factoring bridges that gap without adding debt to your balance sheet.
