About Factoring

Factoring

Factoring is a way of raising money against your outstanding ledger. The process works as follows;

  • Deliver your goods or service
  • Send your invoice to the finance company and your customer
  • Receive up to 90% of the invoice value from your chosen finance company
  • Your customer pays the invoice 30-60-90 days later (as normal)
  • The finance company pay you back the remaining 10-20% of the invoice minus their fees (Typically less than 2%)

BDP can insure your debtors so if they go bust as long as you have a limit against them, your outstanding balance can be covered by insurance. This typically costs around 1% of turnover. Can be lower or higher depending on turnover, but the above is a good average.

  • Apply for a limit for any new or existing customers
  • The insurer will give you a certain limit to work within
  • If you trade within the limits and the client goes bust you will be covered by the limit they set.
