Everything we get asked
What is factoring?
Factoring is a simple way for businesses to get cash from their unpaid invoices. Instead of waiting 30, 60, or 90 days for a customer to pay, you sell the invoice to a factoring company like MyFactor LLC. We advance most of the invoice value to you right away, collect payment from your customer, and send you the remaining balance minus a small fee. It’s not a loan, so there’s no debt to repay.
Is factoring a loan?
No. A bank loan is based on your credit and adds debt to your balance sheet. Factoring is different. You’re selling an invoice you’ve already earned, and approval depends mainly on how reliably your customers pay. That’s why factoring works well for new businesses, growing companies, and anyone who can’t wait on slow payments.
How does factoring work with MyFactor?
You deliver the load or complete the work and send us the invoice. We verify it and advance most of the invoice value to your account. When your customer pays us, we send you the remaining balance, minus our fee.
Is there a long-term contract?
No.
How fast do I get paid?
Once an invoice is approved, funds go to your bank in seconds through Real Time Payments, or straight to your MyFactor Wallet.
What do I need to open an account?
Carriers: MC/DOT authority, certificate of insurance and a W-9. Brokers: broker authority, surety bond details and an A/R aging report. Other businesses: basic business documents and an A/R aging report.
Do you fund new MC authorities?
Yes. We look at your brokers’ credit, not how long you have had your authority.
How soon will someone get back to me?
You will hear back within one business day, whether you use the form, the phone or email.
