Owning and operating a business comes with its fair share of challenges—and just as many rewards. What are the most common struggles that business owners talk about? Slow-paying customers. They can seriously disrupt cash flow and make it difficult to cover daily expenses, invest in growth, or even meet payroll.
If it’s true that “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link,” then in business, the weakest link in your cash flow chain is often the customer who takes the longest to pay. And that single delay can send a ripple effect through every company depending on that revenue.
The good news? Factoring is a smart, proven solution that helps businesses overcome these cash flow bottlenecks—without taking on more debt.
What Is Factoring?
Factoring is a financing tool used by B2B companies to convert outstanding receivables (like invoices) into immediate working capital. At Interstate Business Capital, we purchase your invoices and provide next-business-day funding—usually up to 85% of the invoice amount. When your customer (the account debtor) pays the invoice in full, we release the remaining balance to you, minus a small fee.
In other words:
You get paid right away, instead of waiting 30, 60, or even 90+ days.
Why Use Factoring?
If your business struggles with unpredictable cash flow due to slow-paying clients, factoring can help you:
- Maintain steady operations without waiting for payments
- Cover bills and payroll on time
- Purchase inventory or invest in growth
- Avoid taking on new debt or relying too heavily on credit lines
Factoring is especially helpful for companies that don’t yet qualify for traditional bank financing or want a more flexible solution than a loan.
