Factoring versus Bank Loan

Many small businesses have difficulty acquiring loans or a Line of Credit from traditional financial institutions. There are a number of reasons for this. Credit history, length of time in business, collateral, and the type of industry all play heavily into a bank's decision to loan or not to loan money.

Additionally, banks may be ill equipped to handle the job of monitoring invoices and inventory of a particular industry. They may not want to take on the risk associated with that type of funding option. Furthermore, they may not fully understand the industry that your company competes in. To a banker, a lack of understanding equals greater risk and greater risk often times equals a denial.

Furthermore, some factoring agencies actually offer factoring solutions to companies under bankruptcy protection.
