Drilling for oil is a complex process that requires numerous pieces of expensive machinery. In order to purchase new equipment and maintain what your company already has, you need a constant supply of cash flow. This is a frustrating catch-22 for many business owners. Your customers require open credit terms of 30 days, 60 days or even as much as 90 days to pay outstanding invoices. In the meantime, your oil drilling company goes without the cash flow it needs to pay employees, maintain equipment and expand the business. An accounts receivable loan from 1st Commercial Credit is the ideal solution to this common business dilemma.
Oil drilling companies that are unable to offer favorable credit terms to customers will soon go out of business. Unfortunately, the desire to remain competitive often leads to unwise business decisions from managers of oil drilling companies. Some examples of this include obtaining a business credit card at a high rate of interest and caped credit limits, or taking out a bank loan the company may not be able to repay. Factoring receivables for oil drilling companies is ideal because your company already has money coming to it in the form of accounts receivable invoices.
There is a small risk in accounts receivable financing that your customer will default on repaying the outstanding invoice. However, you can avoid this by only submitting invoices to 1st Commercial Credit from customers that are credit worthy.
