Service: Invoice factoring
Invoice factoring allows you to finance accounts receivable that pay in 30 to 60 days. It provides funds to pay for essential company expenses and to handle new growth.
Small and midsize companies that offer 30- to 60-day terms to clients often need to rely on cash reserves to cover expenses. This situation can create cash flow problems if your cash reserves are small or your company is growing quickly.
Factoring solves this problem and improves cash flow. It provides a stable financial platform that can be used to grow the company.
a) How does it work?
Most factoring transactions finance your invoices in two instalments. The first instalment is called the advance. It covers around 80% to 90% of your invoices and is deposited into your bank account shortly after processing the invoice.
The second instalment is deposited into your account shortly after your customer pays the invoice. It covers the remaining 10% to 20% of the invoice, less the fees. To learn more, read “How Does Factoring Work?“

Service: Purchase order financing
Purchase order financing helps companies that buy and resells goods to commercial clients and need funds to pay for supplier expenses. It covers the vendor cost of the order, enabling you to fulfil the order and book the revenue.
a) How does it work?
The finance company evaluates the purchase order to determine if it can be financed. If the order qualifies, the PO finance company pays the supplier directly.
All foreign suppliers that need a pre-payment are paid using a Letter of Credit (LC). Some suppliers in Canada or the US that need a pre-payment may be paid by wire if they meet the finance company’s risk criteria. Otherwise, they are paid with an LC.
The transaction can settle in two ways. It can be settled through a factoring line if you have one. Alternatively, the transaction is settled when the customer pays the order.
Each transaction is different. However, most go through these steps:
- Finance company issues LC to supplier
- Supplier manufactures product
- Product delivered to the end customer
- End customer pays, and the transaction settles

How to choose a factoring company
Working with the right factoring company is essential to the success of your business. Evaluate each company carefully to ensure you select the best provider for your business. Consider asking the following questions as part of your due diligence:
a) Do they have offices in Ontario?
Several factoring companies offer services in Ontario, so finding a local company should be simple. Most providers have their operations center or a sales office in the Toronto – Mississauga area.
An advantage of working with a company with a regional presence is that they are familiar with the local industry players. They should also be able to provide local references if you ask for them.
There is one exception to this rule. Only a few companies specialize in purchase order financing. In these cases, you may be better off working with a company that is not local as long as they can finance your specific transaction effectively.
b) What industry do they specialize in?
Most factoring companies can work with clients in most industries. However, some factoring companies specialize in specific industries, such as transportation or staffing. In most cases, you are better off working with a company that specializes in your industry. They are familiar with your customers and their nuances.
c) Do they offer flexible terms?
Evaluate the terms that the prospective finance company offers. Make sure that their terms have the flexibility to meet your objectives. You want to avoid being in a financing plan that has outlived its usefulness.
