Invoice factoring
Invoice factoring is a financing arrangement where a business sells its outstanding invoices to a factoring company at a discount in exchange for immediate cash. The factor advances typically 70 to 90 percent of the invoice value upfront, then collects payment directly from your customer and remits the balance minus a fee. Unlike a loan, factoring is a sale of an asset, so approval hinges on your customers' creditworthiness, not your own balance sheet or credit score.
Lakeridge Commercial Capital acts as your broker, presenting your receivables to multiple factoring networks to secure competitive advance rates and terms. We explain what underwriters scrutinize: invoice aging, customer payment history, industry risk, and contract terms. Our role is to prepare your file so factors see a clear, creditworthy portfolio.
Invoice factoring
Clinton Township's mix of automotive suppliers, logistics operators, and service contractors along Hall Road and near the I-94 corridor often face extended payment cycles that strain cash flow. A machining shop delivering parts to Tier 2 suppliers may invoice on net-60 terms while needing to meet weekly payroll and restock raw materials. Invoice factoring bridges that gap without adding debt to the balance sheet.
Because Clinton Township sits at the crossroads of Metro Detroit manufacturing and distribution, many B2B companies here serve large corporate buyers whose payment schedules don't align with operating expenses. Factoring turns those slow-paying receivables into working capital the day you ship, keeping trucks rolling and production lines staffed.
We start by reviewing your accounts receivable aging report and customer concentration. If one or two buyers represent most of your invoices, we identify factors comfortable with that profile. We walk you through notification versus non-notification structures, explain reserve holdbacks, and clarify how factors handle disputed invoices. Our Clinton Township commercial financing hub connects you to the full range of working capital tools, and our Sterling Heights headquarters keeps us close to your operation for in-person consultations at 11080 Hall Rd, Sterling Heights, MI 48314 or by phone at (586) 366-7772.
For businesses exploring alternatives, our main invoice factoring page compares factoring to lines of credit and term loans, so you choose the right fit.
