Invoice Factoring

What is Invoice Factoring:

  • Designed for small and medium-sized businesses to convert unpaid B2B invoices into immediate working capital.

  • Addresses cash flow bottlenecks caused by delayed customer payments.

  • Non-recourse factoring: Step By Step Capital assumes the risk of non-payment.

    Key Features:

    • Businesses sell accounts receivable to Step By Step Capital at a discount rate (1%–5%).

    • Discount rate depends on invoice age, volume, and client credit quality.

    • Advances 80–95% of invoice value upon approval; remainder (minus fees) paid after client settles invoice.

    • Funds transferred via ACH or wire transfer within 24–48 hours of approval.

    Purpose:

    • Provides liquidity for rapid scaling, bulk inventory purchases, hiring surges, or meeting payroll/supplier commitments.

    • Ideal for industries like manufacturing, staffing, and wholesale distribution.

    Eligibility:

    • Based primarily on the creditworthiness of the business’s customers, not the business’s own financial history.

    • Minimum invoice value: $5,000; payment terms up to 90 days.

    • Requires high-quality receivables from creditworthy clients; high-risk payers may not qualify.

    Application Process:

    • Simple online inquiry with details on business operations, average invoice values, and payment terms.

    • Pre-qualification followed by swift due diligence, including invoice verification and Notice of Assignment.

    • Streamlined, paper-light process to minimize administrative burdens.

    Benefits:

    • Immediate cash flow without stringent credit checks or collateral requirements of traditional bank loans.

    • Enhances liquidity for growth opportunities without accruing debt or diluting equity.

    • Transparent, performance-based fees with no hidden charges.

    • Flexible scalability: handles monthly invoice volumes from $50,000 to several million.

    • No long-term contracts, offering freedom to adjust participation.

    Strategic Advantages:

    • Frees businesses from collection hassles, allowing focus on core operations.

    • Converts static receivables into dynamic capital for innovation and resilience.
