There may be a perception by business owners who have never used invoice factoring that accounts receivable financing will somehow be a negative reflection on their business. This is a mis-perception based largely on lack of knowledge regarding how the actual factoring transaction works.
The bottom line is plenty of companies cannot qualify for factoring. Either their financial condition is so extremely poor or the customers they work for are uncreditworthy. It happens all the time. So having succeeded in securing invoice factoring is a step in the right direction.
A customer who receives notice that a vendor is using invoice financing might be concerned depending on how the introduction is made. Properly handled, the customer will realize the future success of the vendor depends on securing financial backing to enable steady growth without loss of performance, acceptance and warranty.
Once invoice factoring has settled into the daily operations of a client, very little changes from the customers’ viewpoint. As long as the back office of the factoring company has the wherewithal to work closely with all parties to properly notify and verify invoices, then everything is going to work out fine.
