Freight factoring is invoice factoring for the trucking industry. Factoring is a cash flow method where a business sells its account receivables to a factoring company at discounted rates in exchange for faster working capital access. Invoice factoring can help businesses to run their operations smoothly by providing consistent cash flow.
Recourse factoring allows a factoring company to sell any unpaid or disputed invoices back to a business. In the non-recourse method, the factoring company takes full responsibility despite of any claim or nonpayment. Due to the risk level, factoring rates are much higher, and the advance rate is lower in non-recourse factoring.
