WHAT IS INVOICE FACTORING

Invoice factoring gives businesses the power to ensure growth without diluting equity or incurring debt.

Understanding What Invoice Factoring Is and How It Works

Invoice factoring is the purchase of accounts receivable for immediate cash. Invoice factoring gives businesses the power to ensure growth without diluting equity or incurring debt. After invoices are submitted and verified, they are funded by Riviera Finance within 24 hours.

Your business needs working capital in order to take on new business, grow your business or manage everyday expenses. It’s tough to build your business when you’re waiting on your customers to pay for 30, 60 or 90 days.

Riviera Finance allows you to get paid right away. Instead of waiting for idle invoices to get paid, send them to Riviera to get paid right away. Once we buy your invoices, we become your accounts receivable department.

How Invoice Factoring Works

Different Types of Invoice Factoring

Let’s explore the different types of factoring, so you’ll know exactly what to look for when choosing a factoring company to partner with.

Non-Recourse Factoring

With non-recourse factoring, if your customer doesn’t pay their invoice due to credit reasons, such as filing for bankruptcy, the factoring company  takes the loss instead of your business. You will not be required to pay back the advance to the factoring company.  You could think of non-recourse factoring as a business cash flow solution and customer credit insurance all in one.

For reference, Riviera Finance provides non-recourse factoring.

Recourse Factoring

If your customer doesn’t pay the invoice that was factored, for any reason within, generally within 90 days, you are required to repay the recourse factoring company the amount that was advanced. Therefore, recourse factoring does not protect a company from bad-debt.  For reference, most factoring companies offer this type of invoice factoring.

Spot Factoring

Spot factoring allows you to factor a single invoice. For example, if you have a large  invoice that needs to be paid immediately, a spot factor can provide funding for just that one invoice.

Whole Ledger Factoring

Whole ledger factoring requires you to factor all of your invoices with the factoring company. This may not be ideal for businesses that only experience payment delays with a few customers, as it involves factoring every invoice, regardless of the payment reliability of all your clients.

Riviera Finance does not require you to factor all of your invoices.  Riviera clients choose which invoices they would like to factor.
