How does factoring work?
Your invoices are financed in two installments. The first installment is called the advance and covers up to 90% of the invoice. These funds are deposited into your bank account shortly after you submit the invoice to the factoring company.
The factoring company deposits the remaining 10% (less their fees) once your customer pays the invoice. This second installment settles the transaction. Most companies use factoring regularly since it improves their cash flow and helps ensure you have funds to run – and grow – the business.

Partner with the right factoring company
Working with the right factoring company is essential to your company’s success. Keep the following in mind as you interview potential financing partners.
1. Do they understand the oilfield services industry?
You are better off if you work with a factoring company with experience in the oil and gas industry. They are able to offer the best terms and be familiar with the industry’s nuances.
2. How long have they been in business?
You are usually better off working with a factoring company with some longevity. Ideally, the company should have been through at least one economic cycle. This experience helps ensure they have a seasoned team to manage things when you need funds the most.
3. Can they provide references?
Ask prospective factoring companies for references. Interview these references carefully, as they will give you a good idea of how this factoring company operates.
Note that a factoring company will provide references only after they have had a chance to review your application. This screening process helps protect their clients.
4. Can they offer short-term contracts?
Financing has a cost, and it affects your profits. Consequently, you don’t want to be committed to a financing plan for any longer than you need to. You are better off if you work with a factoring company that offers short-terms plans (we do). Assuming that all works well, your company can always extend the plan as needed.
