Answers to Your Most-Asked Questions
What is factoring?
Factoring is a financial tool you can use to maximize your cash flow. Partners Funding will buy your outstanding invoices and turn them into a positive checkbook balance. We charge a low fixed fee with no monthly minimums, so you get your cash faster.
What is the difference between recourse and non-recourse factoring?
Recourse factoring typically fruits larger trucking companies that can assume customer credit risk. This program includes lower fees and a financial reserve. Non-recourse factoring lets Partners Funding assume credit responsibility. While the factoring fee may run higher, there is no reserve held by Partners Funding until the invoice is paid. Non-recourse factoring is ideal for a trucking company operating one to five trucks.
What are Partners Funding factoring fees?
Partners Funding factoring fees are based on the monthly volume of invoices you factor, the average number of days it takes your customers to pay, and the type of factoring program chosen, recourse or non-recourse.
