A simple way to think about factoring is to think of it as a company selling its invoices or accounts receivable (A/R) to a third party. It is not that simple, however, thus the purpose of this webinar. A factor makes a profit by buying A/R for less than 100% of its face amount. Companies that transact with factors are often cash-strapped. A factor will typically advance most of an invoice amount – usually between 70% - 90%. When the invoice is paid, the factor will remit the balance the company, less a transaction fee. This arrangement allows a company to get cash much faster than it would if it waited to be paid pursuant to the terms of its invoices (i.e. often 30 days) and even faster if its customer fails to pay within terms. This webinar discusses various common types of factoring arrangements; how to negotiate a factoring agreement; and alternatives to consider before deciding to factor.

7. ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
A simple way to think about factoring is to think of it as a company selling its invoices or accounts receivable
(A/R) to a third party. It is not that simple, however, thus the purpose of this webinar.
A factor makes a profit by buying A/R for less than 100% of its face amount. Companies that transact with factors
are often cash-strapped. A factor will typically advance most of an invoice amount – usually between 70% - 90%.
When the invoice is paid, the factor will remit the balance the company, less a transaction fee. This arrangement
allows a company to get cash much faster than it would if it waited to be paid pursuant to the terms of its invoices
(i.e. often 30 days) and even faster if its customer fails to pay within terms. This webinar discusses various
common types of factoring arrangements; how to negotiate a factoring agreement; and alternatives to consider
before deciding to factor.
This webinar is delivered in Plain English, understandable to you even if you do not have a background in the
subject. It brings you into an engaging, even sometimes humorous, conversation designed to entertain as it
teaches. And, it is specifically designed to be viewed as a stand-alone webinar, meaning that you do not have to
view the other webinars in the series to get a lot out of it. 7
8. ABOUT THIS SERIES
Many companies, and most of any size, use borrowed funds as part of their capital structure. Depending on
the nature of the business, its size, time in business, whether it has adequate collateral, and other factors, a
business has myriad options when borrowing funds.
This webinar series provides a guided tour of the various borrowing options available to businesses, from both
a business and legal perspective. Major topics covered include asset-based lending, P/O Finance, Factoring,
Merchant Cash Advances, and Market Place Lending / Fintech. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of
each, tricks of the trade when negotiating these arrangements, and more!
As with every Financial Poise Webinar, each episode is delivered in Plain English understandable to investors,
business owners, and executives without much background in these areas, yet is also valuable to attorneys,
accountants, and other seasoned professionals. And, as with every Financial Poise Webinar, each episode
brings you into engaging, sometimes humorous, conversations designed to entertain as it teaches. Each episode
in the series is designed to be viewed independently of the other episodes, so that participants will enhance
their knowledge of this area whether they attend one, some, or all episodes.
