What to know before you choose

Invoice factoring and accounts receivable financing solve the same core problem — you've done the work, sent the invoice, and now you're waiting 30, 60, or 90 days to get paid — but they work differently, cost differently, and fit different businesses.

Invoice factoring means selling your unpaid invoices to a third party (the factor) at a discount. The factor advances you 70–95% of the invoice face value upfront, then collects directly from your customer. Fees run 1–5% of invoice face value per 30 days, depending on customer credit quality, invoice volume, and whether you choose recourse or non-recourse terms. Funding after setup typically arrives within 24–48 hours. Factoring is available to startups and businesses with thin credit histories because the underwriting centers on your customers, not you.

Accounts receivable (AR) financing — sometimes called invoice discounting — keeps collections in your hands. You pledge your receivables as collateral and draw a revolving credit line against them, typically 70–85% of eligible AR. Annualized APRs run 8.5–24%, which looks cheaper than factoring on paper, but you need 12–24 months in business and cleaner financials to qualify. Your customers never know a lender is involved.

The numbers that separate them

| | Invoice Factoring | AR Financing | |---|---|---|—| | Advance rate | 70–95% of invoice | 70–85% of eligible AR | | Typical cost | 1–5% per 30 days | 8.5–24% APR annualized | | Credit check focus | Your customers | Your business | | Collections | Factor handles it | You handle it | | Time in business | Startups may qualify | Usually 12–24 months | | Funding speed | 24–48 hrs after setup | 3–7 days initial draw |

Recourse vs. non-recourse is the factoring decision most owners get wrong. Recourse factoring (1–3% per 30-day period) means you're on the hook if a customer doesn't pay. Non-recourse factoring (3–5% per 30-day period) shifts that default risk to the factor — useful if you serve a few large, slow-paying buyers — but factors scrutinize customer credit hard and often cap single-customer concentration at 25–35% of your total AR. If one client makes up 60% of your invoices, expect pushback under either structure.

What trips people up in Henderson specifically: Nevada has no state income tax, which simplifies your financials for lenders, but Henderson's mix of construction, logistics, and light manufacturing means many B2B invoices carry retainage clauses or milestone-based payment schedules. Standard factoring lines don't handle retainage well — you'll want a factor experienced in your industry, or a separate line for retention amounts. Henderson-area freight and owner-operator businesses face the same issue; semi truck and fleet operators comparing factoring against lease-purchase options will find the industry-specific structuring details matter as much as the rate.

Bad credit on your side isn't a firm wall. If your customers are creditworthy commercial entities, many factors will work with owners whose FICO scores fall well below the 700+ threshold that conventional lenders want. That's one reason factoring is popular with early-stage B2B companies that can't yet qualify for an SBA 7(a) loan (which requires 640+ and a 30–45 day approval process) but have solid receivables from established buyers.

Businesses outside Henderson evaluating the same options — including those in Albuquerque, NM and Anaheim, CA — face similar tradeoffs, though state-specific lien filing rules and UCC search costs vary and can affect net pricing on AR lines.

One practical note on fees: factoring costs compound quickly if your customers pay slowly. A 2% fee sounds modest; on a 90-day invoice it's effectively 8% of face value. Run the math against your actual days-sales-outstanding before committing to a factoring line versus a revolving AR facility. The guides below include fee calculators built for exactly this comparison.
