How does it
feel to finance your customers for free? With money
you've already earned? Being taken advantage of by your
clients? Are you angry when 30 days turns into 45? 60?
90? Feel like pounding the desk because of lost
opportunities? Or throwing up your hands and quitting?
Are your sales people pissed because they have to make
collections, too? Is that cutting down on your sales
efforts? Causing you more agony? Hate making dunning
phone calls? Is the business you loved not much fun
anymore?
NEED MORE MONEY?
How many times have you said, "If only I had more
money, I could.....?" How much of your creative time is
wasted looking for more cash? Trying to get invoices
paid? Aren't you frustrated always feeling behind the
business curve? When your sales are up, why do you have
less money in hand? Doesn't your stomach tighten when
you look at your bills? And know that you can't keep
current because your customer's won't? Whatever happened
to the joy and excitement you felt when you first got
into your business?
CASH FLOW IS KING
Cash is your lifeblood. Without cash, you can't pay
bills, expand, or even remain in operation. How does
that make you feel? And giving your customers interest
free loans is not helping, is it? Isn't it strangling
your movements and causing you a bundle in lost interest
and increased costs? How about inflation losses waiting
for your money? Doesn't do much for your peace of mind,
does it?
Remember your last cash flow crunch? All that upset
when the accounts receivable didn't arrive? The big
payment that was going to give you some room to move?
And you didn't know when or if it would happen? Helpless
feeling, wasn't it? Didn't you feel a little lost?
Stop Being a Cash Flow Victim
Why keep on being a cash flow victim?
Is it possible today for you to be in
charge of your cash flow? Is it possible
to get your money in 48 hours instead of 30 to 90 days?
Your answer could be factoring, a powerful
non-debt solution to cash flow problems.
Why Not Factor?
Why not factor your invoices, converting them to cash
by selling them directly to a factor at a discount? New
idea? Hardly! Retail stores routinely sell their bills
of sale to VisaŽ or MasterCardŽ. Same deal. You've
been involved in factoring for years, every time you
whipped out a credit card!
Same Rapid Service
Now you can get the same rapid service for your
wholesale business! You get an IMMEDIATE 70-90%
advance of what's owed you. That provides instant cash
for your business so you can be in control again. It
gives you a powerful competitive edge.
Do you lose the rest? NO! When the factor
collects the invoice, you get the remainder minus a
pre-agreed fee, usually around 2 to 3% annually. Costly?
CHEAP! For that, you get complete credit checking, A/R
maintenance, bad debt insurance and professional
collection services on your billings. What are those
four things costing you now?
The factor won't tie up your hard assets. He doesn't
need your bank balances, business history, tax records
or credit rating. Your customer's credit is what counts,
not yours. The factor just wants you to create more
business and add sales. It's a win-win situation!
Benefits of Factoring
When bank loans are not available, or your credit
line is maxed out, it is a powerful source of immediate
working capital. Get the feeling of money in your hand
NOW! Not in 30 or 45 days. No more having your customers
in control of YOUR cash or profits.
No debt is created, improving your credit rating and
your financial statement's bottom line. How would that
feel to you? How would your banker look at you? You also
get bad debt insurance, since the factor assumes the
liability for nonpayment of the invoice. What's that
worth to you? Sounding better all the time?
Get the powerful feeling of putting ALL your
attention on production, sales, marketing and customer
service! Get OUT of the banking and collection business
and back to what you do best! You wouldn't have you or
your staff paint the office. Why are you or they doing
anything which does not directly drive your business
forward???
Will Factoring Work For You?
Answer some questions to yourself.
1. Are you sometimes short of cash?
2. Are your receivables above $50,000 monthly, with
invoice size usually above $500?
3. Could more cash...
o generate more sales?
o increase production?
o increase marketing?
o allow you to take advantage of discounts and special
offers?
4. If credit and collection chores were gone, could you
put ALL your attention on production, marketing, sales
and service?
5. Would your costs be lowered?
6. Would you be fully back in your business? With higher
profits? More control?
7. Do these ideas excite you? Give you some hope? Make
you enthusiastic? Bring back the feeling you had when
you started your company?
If your answer is YES!, change something!
Factoring can potentially make the difference between
success and failure in your business. Its not new. Tens
of thousands of executives and companies have improved
their lives with factoring.
