Cash flow is a common problem in the transportation industry. The pain point for most transport businesses arises from the mismatch between the cash payments received from customers and the cash payments they have to make for operating expense, especially fuel and labor.
Let’s review how factoring works in the transportation industry. Just like other industries that utilize factoring to finance their business, transportation companies can sell their accounts receivable invoices to a factoring company, and receive an advance as much as 90% of the invoice value.
When your transportation business sells invoices to a factoring company for a fee, you will receive cash on the same or next day—speeding up the cash conversion cycle and enabling management to run the business—instead of worrying about which bills to pay.
Freight, trucking and logistics businesses can take advantage of this cash advance via invoice factoring to support their operating expenses. This alleviates the pressure of dealing with working capital difficulties due to insufficient cash.
How does accounts receivable financing work for transport businesses?
You can also receive a cash advance for your accounts receivable invoices with A/R financing. Trucking and logistics companies can receive cash by leveraging their accounts receivable balances as collateral for a loan.
Likewise, you can leverage your accounts receivable assets as part of a larger collateral structure to obtain an asset-based loan.
