Factoring or invoice discounting could help a potential buyer of a business overcome the first few months of being in business when their cash flow may come under serious pressure following the purchase. Having a cash flow finance option available to potential buyers could make the difference between a potential sale that goes ahead and one that falters.
The big advantage of choosing to factor receivables is that the business does not have to meet the strict criteria of banks to get working capital. The business can grow as fast as it likes and not hit the wall due to over trading. The factoring facility can grow with the business.
Another advantage is that with such a facility in place the business owner can concentrate on finding new business and doing more business, instead of chasing around trying to find more and more finance. They don't have to worry about whether they are growing the business too quickly or over-trading. The whole idea of any cash-flow based finance system is that you can't over-trade.
