How does Finlo Factoring Work?
After you perform work as normal, submit your invoice. While many government contracts include delayed payment terms of 30 to 90 days, Finlo will pay up to 90% of the invoice amount immediately. After Finlo collects the invoice payment directly from the Government (or Prime), we pay out the remaining invoice balance to you, minus a small fee.

Who's eligible for Finlo Factoring?
Any business that serves the Government (either as a Prime or Sub) is eligible for Invoice Factoring. It's as easy as that! There are no cumbersome credit checks or lengthy application processes.

Why should we factor our invoices?
The biggest hurdle to starting and operating a small business is dealing with delayed cash flow from outstanding invoice receivables, which makes it difficult to pay employees or cover expenses. Loans have a lengthy application process and attaining approval is tough for a new company that has no history of revenue. Factoring is the perfect solution to both of these problems.

Is factoring the same as a loan or line of credit?
No. Factoring uses your invoice as collateral, and allows for your business to get paid out immediately. As long as the invoice is paid by your customer as expected, there is no repayment on your part, and you take on no debt or liability. Even if you get denied for a bank loan, you can utilize Finlo factoring.
