Imagine if you have shipped fresh produce across the country and now must wait for multiple vendors to pay you back within 30-900 or more days.

With receivable financing, you will have access to consistent cash flow to continue running a successful operation.

We need a 2-page short application completed with copies of your A/P and A/R aging.

Business owners in the agriculture industry can reduce costs by leasing agriculture equipment instead of buying it outright. Equipment financing and leasing are two great alternatives to traditional bank financing. We know that many agribusinesses struggle between purchasing new and updated expensive equipment or continuing operating with the same old equipment, affecting the business’s efficiency and growth.
Finding the right equipment for your business may require additional cash that is not always available. Our equipment financing programs will help get you the equipment you need without complicated processes. Farming is one sector that especially benefits from setting up monthly payments to match their monthly equipment payments with incoming cash flow.
Cash flow is often tight in the construction sector. Payments come slowly, making it hard to sustain a business and preventing it from growing. To combat this problem, a financing tool called construction factoring is available. Invoice factoring for construction companies allows a company to borrow against its receivables.
Factoring is a process in which businesses get cash advances for their unpaid invoices. When factoring an invoice, a construction company assigns its invoice to a third-party lender, and in exchange, the factoring company provides cash right away.
The construction factoring process looks like this: First, a construction company agrees to factor in its invoices. Typically, a factoring company will commit to paying anywhere from 70-96% of the value of the invoice while awaiting payment. Then, the invoice becomes the factoring company’s burden to collect. Once that factoring company is paid for the invoice, the factoring company will pay the subcontractor the remaining percentage minus the factoring fee.
Construction payments often come slowly. When construction companies factor receivables, they can obtain payment for most of their invoice a lot sooner than they would otherwise. Plus, as long as a subcontractor’s factoring company gets paid in full, the subcontractor will only lose a relatively small percentage of the invoice in this type of financing.
Some of the things construction companies will be able to do with factoring include:
If your business needs new or used construction equipment but lacks the financial resources required to buy the equipment upfront, working with 1st Commercial Credit might be the best alternative. We are an experienced and reliable business lender that offers construction equipment financing to help construction businesses get the equipment they desperately need. Our construction equipment financing plans do not require a large down payment and the monthly payments are affordable and predictable, specifically designed to fit your budget.
Any construction business owner knows how crucial it is to have access to the right equipment as it helps you complete projects on time, manage different types of projects, and keep customers happy and coming back. In addition, the right construction equipment will ensure you achieve maximum efficiency and quality and optimum use of labor.
