What Benefits do Freight Factoring Companies Provide?
One of the benefits of transportation financing is that the working capital provided by freight factoring companies can be used for just about anything.
While banks and other traditional lenders often limit use of financing obtained through loans or lines of credit, factoring is a means of gaining access to working capital your trucking business has already earned and invoiced – so you can use the financing for a wide variety of purposes, such as:
- Improving cash flow
- Financing equipment and repairs
- Taking on larger accounts
- Fulfilling contracts for more customers at one time
- Expanding your fleet
- Marketing and advertising
- Gaining competitive advantages (such as offering more flexible payment options to your own customers)
- Meeting payroll and operational expenses
- Negotiating better rates with vendors and suppliers
You can use our freight factoring calculator to determine how much working capital you can expedite when you factor freight bills instead of chasing customer payments.
