Houston Invoice Factoring companies like Catamount Funding offer services including transportation factoring, freight factoring, oilfield factoring and staffing factoring As the holiday season approaches, many businesses experience an increase in demand. At times when accounts receivables are outstanding, it can prove a particularly challenging time of year. Accounts receivables are unpaid invoices that will become due to be paid in the future. This situation arises when favorable payment terms are part of a business transaction, with deferred payment being anywhere from a few weeks to up to three months in the future. Although the transactions have been made and the money is expected, when immediate cash is needed to repair vehicles or bid on new work, then the interim period may be stressful and limit options. Catamount Funding, one of the premier Factoring
companies in Houston TX, works with business owners across a broad range of industry sectors to purchase outstanding invoices, for a fee, and then free up cash quickly. Factoring freight bills is a major part of their day-to-day operations. Particularly in the run-up to year-end, there may be financial targets to be met and seasonal opportunities that will not extend into the new year. One of the major benefits when factoring accounts receivables with a company like Catamount Funding is that they take on the responsibility of following up with the client to ensure the invoice is paid on time. This extends beyond keeping track of the balance with a date, to ensuring that communication is clear and professional, with a clear paper trail and encouragement to switch to electronic transfers of funds if that is not already in place. Receiving funds to facilitate cash flow as well as freeing up the requirement to follow up on outstanding invoices helps the business to continue to operate and grow. Ironically, one of the most challenging times for a business can be when there is a rate of high growth or expansion. With an increase in sales or the delivery of services on deferred payment terms, the outlay is increased and the accounts receivable balance also grows, this can shrink the available cash on hand to deal with unexpected costs. In addition to challenges meeting commitments and deadlines, a lack of cash flow could also compromise an opportunity that arises which could be a positive change for the future of the business. When factoring accounts receivables with Catamount Funding, all outstanding invoices do not need to be considered. Factoring can be applied against a subset of outstanding invoices at any time. Factoring also offers a sense of predictability around when funds will be received, in that unpaid invoices are not always paid on time, and it may be that the paperwork and the time required to follow-up on unpaid invoices detract from daily operations, as well as causing stress. Speaking about factoring clients across many industry sectors, a representative from Catamount Funding states: “Most companies have a few things in common when it comes to weekly/monthly expenses. The primary common expense is payroll. Regardless of whether you are in Construction, Machining, Fabrication, or Technology, employees and workers must be paid.
