Higher Advance Rates You get more for your money. Our typical advance rates are higher than average - at 85-97% depending on industry and payment track record of your customers. Industry average advance rates (the percent of the invoice face value you receive upfront) are 70-90%. So, for example, if your customer owes you $1,000, you ordinarily should expect an advance payment of $700 to $900. Honoring Your Client Relationships The fact that a factoring company will be communicating with your customers on your behalf is often overlooked. Our level of service, stability and longevity, and the caliber of our employees is second to none. We have been in business since 1979 and have staff who are dedicated to working in this industry as a career. Choose us not only for your sake but for the sake of your relationship with your customer too. Not only will you benefit from our extraordinary service and real-world know-how, but so will your customers. Deep Resources Another strength of Orange Commercial Credit is our flexibility and ability to match your particular needs and industry to the perfect funding resource. Most other factoring companies have limitations for size, industry, and risk level of companies with whom they'll factor. Orange Commercial can save you a tremendous amount of time by helping you find the best match for your business from the very beginning. We have a vast network of industry colleagues that we’ve built in our nearly 40 years in the business. So you can rest assured we will help you find a solution. No Minimum Most factoring companies require you to factor every customer and every invoice, or they require you to factor at least a minimum monthly amount. With us, you decide which customers you want to factor, and even which invoices on any particular customer with no minimum requirements. Our factoring agreement is like carrying a credit card in your pocket. You carry it to use when you need it but don’t sign an agreement which will force you into factoring when you don’t need it. Transparent Fees Most factoring companies are not upfront about their fees. We are different. We are totally transparent about our fees. When you apply, you are provided a transparent, no obligation rate proposal with the fee for your company. See which other factoring company, if any, will be totally up front with their fees before they try and get your business. Financially Strong We have been in business since 1979, are privately held, and have a proven track record of being financially strong. We have survived many economic downturns and in doing so, can help you through any difficult times you might encounter. We won’t go out of business when the times get tough, like some other factoring companies have regretfully done in the past. Personalized Solutions We are not beholden to Wall Street investor money. We are a privately held company and don’t answer to investors or boards. We are like-minded entrepreneurs who understand what it takes to run a business. We take the time to hear your story, learn your struggles, and put together a solution for you rather than relying on an algorithm to determine your company’s value. Who do you want to rely on as a cash flow partner to fund your business? Dedicated Account Executives Many factoring companies have either a lot of employee turnover, a complex voice mail system that you get lost in or operator call centers where you talk with a new representative every time you call. We offer a dedicated account executive to be your point of contact – someone who gets to know you and your business intimately, and who can immediately help you without wasting your time. Our Business is Your Business We track your invoices like your own credit and collections department would, following up with friendly reminder calls and/or emails on your behalf if needed, until payment is received. Our business credit monitoring systems allow us to see early negative trends so that we can protect you from risky transactions. We also establish a mutual risk tolerance to reduce the chance of putting you in the position of ever having to buy back an invoice in the first place. Payment Trend Alerts Your dedicated account executive alerts you to any collection issues so there are no surprises. You also have 24/7 at-your-fingertips access to online aging reports. Up-to-Date Customer Credit History You get direct online access to your customer’s credit, or you can call and speak with your account executive – your choice. Stay ahead of negative payment trends. Having easy access to current information is critical to running your business and filling your next order. Leading Edge Technology We make strides to incorporate the latest technology to expedite the funding process, such as electronic submission of invoices, online reports, online credit checking and other emerging methods to streamline the process and reduce overhead, which means lower rates and time-saving efficiencies for you. Most other companies don’t even come close. 1- 800-231-3878 Send Us an Email HIGHER ADVANCE RATES You get more for your money.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Funds due to a company for goods or services provided, not yet paid by customers. Example: A pallet manufacturing company has delivered product totaling $30,000 for local businesses, which is due for payment. ADVANCE RATE The fraction of an invoice's value paid upfront by a factoring company. Example: A trucking company receives a 97% advance rate on a $1,000 invoice, netting them $970 upfront from a local factoring firm. ASSIGNMENT The transfer of a company's right to collect invoice payments to a factoring company. Example: A staffing company assigns the right to collect on $40,000 worth of invoices to a factoring company. BAD DEBT Debt considered irrecoverable and written off as a loss. Example: When a retail store declares bankruptcy and cannot settle a $5,000 invoice, the supplier writes it off as bad debt. CREDIT CHECK An evaluation to assess the credit standing of a potential debtor. Example: A factoring company performs a credit check on an electronics retailer before agreeing to factor their invoices. DEBTOR An individual or company that owes money to another; in factoring, this is the client's customer. Example: A construction firm owes for supplies received on credit, making it a debtor to the local materials supplier. DISCOUNT RATE The charge applied by a factoring company for its services is typically a percentage of the total invoice. Example: A logistics company is charged a 3% discount rate on a $20,000 invoice, totaling $600 in fees. DUE DILIGENCE An in-depth verification process by the factor of the submitted invoices. Example: A factoring firm reviews a new client's invoicing, purchase orders, and accounts receivable to confirm reliability. FACTORING The sale of accounts receivable to a third party for immediate cash. Example: A transportation company factors $50,000 in outstanding invoices to manage its cash flow. FACTORING AGREEMENT The contract which outlines the factoring terms between the business and the factoring company. Example: An autobody repair shop signs a factoring agreement detailing the advance rates, fees, and obligations involved in the transaction. INVOICE A billing statement requesting payment for services or goods provided. Example: A furniture distributor issues a $15,000 invoice to a retail chain for a recent delivery. INVOICE DISCOUNTING Using outstanding invoices as collateral for borrowing money. Example: A software firm uses invoice discounting to draw funds against $100,000 worth of issued invoices. NOTIFICATION The process of informing customers that an invoice has been factored and payment should go to the factor. Example: Customers of a print shop are notified to direct payments to the factoring company after their invoices are factored. RECEIVABLES AGING A classification report of outstanding invoices by the age of each debt. Example: An intermodal carrier's aging report indicates several invoices unpaid for over 90 days. RECOURSE FACTORING A factoring arrangement where the client is responsible for buying back any unpaid invoices. Example: A facility maintenance company must repurchase a $10,000 invoice a customer failed to pay. RESERVE The portion of invoice funds the factor withholds until the customer pays, ensuring cover for any discrepancies. Example: A factoring company holds a 10% reserve on a $100,000 invoice until the customer settles the payment. VERIFICATION Confirming the validity of an invoice with the customer before the factoring process is completed. Example: Before advancing funds, a factoring company verifies that the customer received and accepted a shipment of goods. WORKING CAPITAL The money a business uses for everyday operations is calculated by subtracting current liabilities from current assets. Example: A tech startup has current assets of $120,000 and liabilities of $70,000, equating to $50,000 in working capital.

HOW FACTORING WORKS First Step: Filling Out the Application You start by completing a basic online application. This application asks for simple details like your company's name and address, what your business does, information about your customers and your company's ownership information. You might also have to give us documents like an accounts receivable aging report or information about your customers' credit limits. Keep in mind that the factoring company will try to figure out how likely your customers are to pay their bills, regardless of their past history with your business. We want a bigger picture of their overall financial strength. In this first step, you'll also discuss the financial setup with the factoring company. This includes things like how many invoices you want to factor every month (or how much money you need to have on hand), what the advance rate and discount rate will be, and how fast the factoring company will give you the advance. Usually, the answers to these questions change based on how financially strong your customers are and how much you expect to sell and factor every month. There might be differences based on what industry you're in, how long you've been in business, and how risky your customers are. For example, if you have many high-risk customers, you'll likely pay more in factoring fees. In the factoring world, the amount of money you're factoring plays a big role in your factoring fee. The more invoices you factor (or the more money you're dealing with), the better your rates will be. Equally as important is how many days it takes your customers to pay their invoices. The factoring company will use the application you give them to decide if factoring is a good fit for your business. They'll do this by weighing the risks and rewards based on the information you gave them. Once you're approved, you can expect to start negotiating the specifics of the deal. These negotiations take many parts of the deal into account. For example, if you intend to factor $10,000, your fee will be more than a company that intends to factor $500,000. Upon review of your factoring application, the factoring company will issue a written proposal outlining the terms. Once you approve the proposal, the factoring company will send your factoring agreement in DocuSign for each owner to sign electronically. Once the documents are executed, the factoring company will contact the customer(s) you have submitted invoices to factor. The factoring company will fund you once the invoices have been verified and accounts payable have confirmed the remittance address has been changed to the factoring company. The initial funding can take a few days to complete all the initial setup at your customer. Subsequent invoices to that customer are typically funded within 24 hours. SHOULD YOU CONSIDER INVOICE FACTORING? Invoice factoring might be a good option for your business. It's not just about the fee, but also how it can help increase your profits. Let's dive deeper into how this works. HOW ARE FEES AND ADVANCES CALCULATED IN INVOICE FACTORING? Several factors influence this: * Your credit scores * How much you bill each month * The size of your average invoice * How long it takes to get paid on average Fees usually range between 2-5% of the total invoice value. For instance, a 3% fee on a $1,000 invoice would be $30. WHAT DOES 'ADVANCE' MEAN IN THIS CONTEXT? It's the money you get right away when we fund your invoice. Once your customer pays the invoice, you'll receive the balance. The advance can be anywhere from 85-97% of the total invoice value. For example, on a $1,000 invoice, a 95% advance is $950. When your customer pays the invoice, you'll get the remaining $50 (minus the factoring fee). HOW DOES INVOICE FACTORING COMPARE TO BANK LOANS? At first glance, factoring might seem more expensive than a traditional bank loan. But it's worth addressing a few common questions or concerns: * A 3% monthly rate? Isn't that 36% annually? While it's easy to look at it that way, it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. Banks give you an annual interest rate, like 12%, on a loan. We buy your invoices at a discount. Plus, unlike a one-time loan from a bank, we continuously provide you with cash. Imagine if you factor $100,000 every month for a year. That's $1.2 million you can use throughout the year, compared to a one-off $100,000 bank loan. Even with a 3% factoring fee, your yearly cost is $36,000 (12 times $3,000), which is still only 3% of $1.2 million. And you have no debt at year's end! * I'm only making a 3% profit. How can I afford a 3% factoring fee? Even if you're currently at a 3% profit margin, factoring could help you increase your business volume and hence your profit. As your business grows, your fixed costs (like rent and utilities) won't necessarily increase at the same rate. With higher sales volume and lower relative costs, your profit margin could go up. * How does the math work if I could double my sales with factoring? Let's look at a simple example comparing scenarios with and without factoring: Without Factoring: * Monthly Gross Sales: $50,000 * Cost of Goods Sold: $30,000 (60% of Gross Sales) * Monthly Gross Profit: $20,000 (40% of Gross Sales) * Fixed Expenses: $10,000 * Variable Expenses: $8,500 (17% of Gross sales) * Factoring Fee: N/A * Total Expenses: $18,500 (37% of Gross Sales) * Monthly Net Profit: $1,500 (3% of Gross Sales) With Factoring: * Monthly Gross Sales: $100,000 * Cost of Goods Sold: $60,000 (60% of Gross Sales) * Monthly Gross Profit: $40,000 (40% of Gross Sales) * Fixed Expenses: $10,000 * Variable Expenses: $17,000 (17% of Gross Sales) * Factoring Fee: $3,000 (3% Fee) * Total Expenses: $30,000 (30% of Gross Sales) * Monthly Net Profit: $10,000 (10% of Gross Sales) * But don't I only get 80% of my money upfront? Typically, the advance rate ranges from 80%-97%. Let's say the rate is 80%. If you factor $100,000 in January, you'd get $80,000 upfront. The remaining $20,000 consists of the fee (3%, or $3,000) and the reserve (17%, or $17,000). In February, you factor another $100,000 and get $80,000. Plus, you get the January reserve of $17,000 (assuming your customer pays within 30 days). So, in effect, you receive 97% of your money in February. This pattern continues in subsequent months. * What if my customers take longer than 30 days to pay? No worries. You can either wait for 30 days before factoring the invoice or choose to factor invoices of customers who pay quicker to get the cash you need. WHY FACTORING? HOW FACTORING CAN HELP SMALL BUSINESSES THRIVE Factoring is like a financial boost that can help small businesses succeed in simple terms. Here's how it works: * Quick Access to Cash Small businesses sometimes struggle to get the money they need for their everyday expenses or to grow. Factoring gives them a way to get cash quickly by selling their unpaid customer invoices to a company that specializes in this. It's like getting an instant payment for the work they've done or the products they've sold. * Better Money Management Managing money is important for any business, and factoring can make it easier for small businesses. Instead of waiting for customers to pay, factoring provides a steady stream of money that keeps the business running smoothly. It's like having a reliable source of funds to pay bills, buy supplies, and invest in new opportunities. * Building a Good Reputation Factoring can also help small businesses build a good reputation with suppliers and lenders. When they can pay their bills on time, it shows that they're trustworthy and responsible. This can lead to better deals with suppliers and open up more options for loans or other types of financial help in the future. * Growing the Business With the extra cash from factoring, small businesses have the freedom to expand and grow. They can use the money to hire more employees, buy new equipment, or reach more customers through advertising. It's like having the resources to take their business to the next level and seize exciting opportunities. * Simplifying Finances Keeping track of customer invoices and collecting payments can be a hassle for small businesses. Factoring companies take care of these tasks, so small businesses can focus on what they do best. It's like having a helpful partner who handles all the paperwork and makes sure the money comes in smoothly. * Lowering Financial Risks Factoring companies also help small businesses reduce the risks associated with customers who don't pay on time or don't pay at all. They check the creditworthiness of customers and take responsibility for collecting payments. This gives small businesses peace of mind and protects them from losing money. * Flexibility for Success Factoring is flexible and can adapt to the changing needs of small businesses. As their sales grow and they generate more invoices, they can access more funding through factoring. It's like having a financial solution that grows with them, providing the support they need to thrive. In simple terms, factoring gives small businesses quick access to cash, helps them manage their money better, builds a good reputation, supports growth, simplifies finances, lowers financial risks, and offers flexibility for success. With factoring, small businesses can overcome financial challenges and create a path to long-term prosperity. FACTORING HISTORY FACTORING: EMPOWERING BUSINESSES TO THRIVE AND FLOURISH Welcome to the world of factoring, where businesses discover the power to thrive and flourish. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or a budding business owner, factoring can be the key to unlocking your business's true potential. It's surprising that factoring often remains overlooked, with many business owners unaware of its immense benefits. Yet, factoring serves as a catalyst for growth, providing businesses with the financial boost they need to succeed. But what exactly is factoring? At its core, factoring involves selling your accounts receivable (invoices) to a specialized financial institution at a discount. In today's competitive landscape, offering credit terms to customers is essential for attracting and retaining business. However, waiting for payments can strain your cash flow and hinder your ability to invest, expand, and take advantage of new opportunities. Factoring has a rich history that spans centuries, evolving and adapting to meet the changing needs of businesses. Today, factoring empowers businesses to access immediate cash flow by converting their unpaid invoices into working capital. This influx of funds enables you to cover expenses, invest in growth initiatives, and navigate the ups and downs of the business world with confidence. Factoring is not limited to specific industries or business sizes. Whether you're in manufacturing, services, or trucking, factoring can be tailored to meet your unique needs. It provides the flexibility to grow and adapt alongside your business, supporting your journey towards success. Working with a reputable factor brings additional advantages. Factors offer expertise in credit analysis, collections, and risk management. They assume the responsibility of managing your receivables, allowing you to focus on core operations and strategic decision-making. This partnership ensures a steady cash flow, minimizes the risks associated with late payments, and frees up valuable time and resources. Embracing factoring means breaking free from the constraints of traditional financing options. It offers a fast, flexible, and accessible solution for businesses seeking growth and stability. With factoring, you can seize new opportunities, expand your market presence, and invest in the future of your business. Join the ranks of businesses that have harnessed the power of factoring and experience the transformative impact it can have. Unleash your business's true potential, fuel its growth, and create a path to long-term success. Factoring is the bridge that connects your aspirations to reality, empowering you to thrive in today's competitive business landscape. CREDIT RISK QUICK CASH FLOW SOLUTION: UNLOCKING SUCCESS WITH EXPERT CREDIT RISK ASSESSMENT Accurately evaluating credit risk is a vital aspect of our factoring business. Few clients possess the same level of objectivity as we do in performing this function. NO ADDITIONAL COST FOR ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE CREDIT EXPERTISE At no extra cost, we serve as your dedicated credit department, supporting both new and existing customers. This provides you with a significant advantage compared to handling credit evaluations internally. Imagine a scenario where a salesperson pursues a new account with potential for substantial purchases. In their eagerness to secure the business, they might overlook warning signs related to credit difficulties and bypass your internal credit checks. While this approach may lead to a sale, it does not guarantee payment, and without payment, there is no true success. With us, such situations are avoided. We make credit decisions based on a comprehensive understanding of the new customer's credit situation. We refrain from purchasing invoices from customers with poor credit ratings, minimizing the risk of nonpayment. However, please note that our involvement does not imply a tightening of credit to the extent that it negatively impacts your business beyond your control. Ultimately, the decision to engage with a new customer of questionable creditworthiness remains yours. (Although, we do reserve the right to say, "We told you so!") While we may not purchase those invoices, you retain the freedom to extend credit terms as you see fit. You remain in control. Regardless of the decisions you make, our participation ensures that you have access to comprehensive, objective, and high-quality information to make informed credit decisions, surpassing your previous practices. We conduct thorough research on new clients and, equally important, regularly monitor the credit ratings of your existing customers. This stands in stark contrast to the common practice of neglecting routine credit updates on the established customer base. Such oversight can prove to be a costly mistake. Typically, businesses conduct credit checks only when it's too late, and the problem has already escalated. In contrast, we promptly notify you of any changes in the credit status of your existing customers. In addition to providing specific customer credit information, we offer comprehensive and detailed reports on your accounts receivables as a whole. Our process includes accounting details, transactional insights, aging reports, and financial management reports. This valuable data empowers you to integrate it into your sales tracking, account history, and in-depth analysis. We've been successfully helping our clients manage their cash flow and credit since 1979, we are excited to leverage our expertise for your benefit. Let us put our knowledge to work for you, helping you achieve your financial goals, unlocking your business's true potential, and paving the way for sustained success. CHANGING YOUR INVOICE FACTORING COMPANY THERE ARE SOME KEY POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN YOU'RE THINKING OF MOVING TO A DIFFERENT INVOICE FACTORING COMPANY OR IF YOU'RE DISSATISFIED WITH YOUR CURRENT ONE: * Understanding UCC The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a way factoring companies secure their rights over invoices. It acts as an alert to other lenders, indicating an official partnership between your business and the factoring company. * Switching Process To move to a new factoring company, the old company's dues need to be cleared by the new one. It resembles the refinancing of a home. * What's a 'Buyout'? A buyout occurs when the new factoring company pays the old one using money from your initial funding. This transition is defined in a 'Buyout Agreement'. * Calculating Buyout Costs The buyout amount comes from subtracting reserves from the total pending receivables and then adding any fees owed to the old factoring company. * Costs Involved If you provide new invoices to the new factoring company, which they use to clear the outstanding invoices at your previous company, you won't face additional costs during the transition. * Duration of a Buyout The initial funding could take a bit longer, typically two to three days more, when you're switching companies, due to invoice verification and finalizing the buyout sum. * Complex Situations Most factoring companies will work together to determine the best approach for your company when there’s a complex situation. * Before Signing Always ask vital questions before committing to a factoring company. For instance, inquire about the possibility of working with multiple factoring companies simultaneously, or the penalties and notice periods for switching. * Stuck in a Factoring Contract? Ask the new factoring company to review your existing factoring agreement. The new factoring company will let you know when and how to give proper notice to terminate according to your existing contract’s next term renewal. The new factoring company should further guide you through the process moving forward. ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER It's crucial to be informed and understand potential obligations. Ask about post-payment processes, the time taken to update your account after a customer's payment, the duration they hold your original invoices, the number of personnel you'll be interacting with, and any possible hidden charges.

From the initial contact and interaction with Bob in Sales, our experience with OCC has been genuine and honest. Bob was true to his word. What he sold is what came to fruition. It was like nothing we had ever experienced before. OCC provides us with peace of mind in knowing that we have daily cash flow for our business. We submit invoices daily using the scanning program, which we find to be very quick and easy to use, and know with confidence when we submit invoices that OCC will provide the funding that same day. Maria, Isabel, Leslie, Tiffany and everyone in Operations has been fantastic to work with. I know when I call, they are going to answer and address my needs immediately. They customized their process to fit our needs, and that’s so valuable to us. OCC is truly a godsend to our business. I am tickled to be able to brag about OCC and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an honest factoring partner they can rely on.” —Paula W., Customer Since 2003 Transportation Company, Arkansas “We’ve been with OCC since 2003.

Sure, some of the others may try to entice you with a few ridiculous claims low fees, instant credit checks, and a dedicated service team of professionals but once you sign up—watch those promises disappear, like a flash in a pan. If you want your account managed properly and professionally with a clean break from your current factoring company, call Orange Commercial Credit. They will pick up the phone on the second ring like clockwork. Now you will have the information on the broker’s credit being approved or a pertinent question regarding your account answered, so you’re not wasting valuable time when you could be landing your next deal. Don’t make the mistake of thinking things will improve over time with your current factor—get out, get out, get out of there, now! The professionals at Orange Commercial will help free you up from your current factor as smoothly and efficiently as possible, so you can get back to the real business. Keep on trucking!” —Jason, Dispatcher/Office Manager 3 OTR Trucking Companies “AMAZING TO WORK WITH” “AMAZING TO WORK WITH” “In 2014 we were referred to OCC by a friend. Our first experience with OCC was with Tina in the Sales Dept. Tina was amazing to work with. She answered all of our questions and guided us through the entire set up process. Other factors we were talking with weren’t as willing to help as Tina was no matter what our questions or concerns. She explained everything and made sure we understood. The Account Managers (Kurt, Tiffany & April) have been just as wonderful to work with. They work hard with care and passion to resolve any problems and are so kind to our customers. We use the scanning program to send in invoices, which took some learning on our behalf, but it’s good now. We have daily email contact with April and she’s so responsive to our needs. We cannot say enough good things about our whole experience with OCC. We love them!” —Jennifer, Manager and Client Since 2014 An Illinois Transporation Company IF YOU DON’T SEE THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO CONTACT US.

They have been instrumental to the success of my small business. Prior to working with OCC, I was considering taking out a small business loan in order to keep my business afloat. However, I choose to go with OCC instead and cash flow has not been a problem. They are very professional and pay on a timely basis. I would highly recommend using OCC for help with your business’ cash flow.” —F.T., President Supplier/Installer for Nationwide Property Management Co., NYC Area “VERY EASY TO WORK WITH” “Finding out about OCC has helped keep my business operating with the cash flow I am now receiving. Within a day the money is in my account. During the whole process, OCC was very easy to work with. They made sure I was completely confident in the filing of claims. Step by step they worked with me, and the staff was very patient. I would recommend them to any business. Once you start with OCC, you will also be recommending them.” —Val, Owner and Client Since 2017 NY Auto Body Shop “HIGH LEVEL OF TRUST” “HIGH LEVEL OF TRUST” “We’ve been with OCC since 2006. Their quality of service is wonderful. Everyone we have interacted with—from Sales to Operations and Management—have been fantastic to work with. There is a high level of teamwork, cooperation and trust. Our company grew to a point where we weren’t needing to factor and we pulled away for a bit. We got some new customers and wanted to factor again. OCC saw the increase in our business and called to offer us a new program that made factoring even greater for us. The level of communication is superb. We submit our invoices almost daily using their very simple to use scanning program and know that when we submit our invoices before the deadline we get same day funding.” —Mike, President and Customer Since 2006 Intermodal Transportation and Warehousing Company in Southern CA “We’ve been with OCC since 2006.

I was not sure exactly what to do or what to expect with a factoring company. Initially I had considered a few factoring choices and Tina my sales rep always answered every question in a timely manner. As a business owner it is imperative to have open communication and OCC is top notch in handling all my needs. I highly recommend this factoring company because of their professionalism and their dependability. I have referred clients to OCC because of this.” —Owner VXR Auto Transport “HELPS US GROW AND EXPAND” “I would like to personally thank OCC for over 8 years of factoring support.

My factor (not OCC) understandably wouldn’t fund it so I was left not knowing what to do. I turned to my friend Mike for advice and he referred me to his factor… Maria at OCC. Maria reviewed my paperwork and explained step by step what I needed to do including outlining who to contact, what numbers to reference and what I needed to ask. She carefully explained the pros and cons of different options such as collecting on a bond or pursuing collections and how that might affect my relationship with the shipper and receiver moving forward. I really appreciated Maria taking the time to do that when I wasn’t even her client. I could see that they really care and understand how big a $4,500 loss is to any trucking company.” —Alyssa, Owner A & N Transportation, Detroit, MI “I made the mistake of not credit checking a load and by the time I turned it into my factor (not OCC) the brokerage was out of business.

The setup process with them was easy. They let you choose which clients you want to factor. Pricing is reasonable for the industry. Customer service is great and I can always count on them to send me funds when I need it.” —George, Owner and Customer Since 2016 Staffing Company in KY MORE SERVICES AND RESOURCES > > > INVOICE FACTORING PROGRAM SERVICES AND RESOURCES Accounts Receivable Factoring Companies AR Factoring AR Factoring Companies Best Factoring Company Best Invoice Factoring Companies Purchase Accounts Receivable Factoring Companies Factoring Company Factoring Company Rates Factoring For Staffing Companies Factoring Industry Factoring Invoices Factor Invoices Financial Factoring Invoice Factoring Companies Invoice Factoring Rates Invoice Factoring Services Invoice Financing Companies Invoice Funding Companies List of Factoring Companies Oilfield Factoring Companies Receivable Factoring Companies Selling Accounts Receivable Selling Your Accounts Receivable Top 5 Factoring Companies Top Factoring Companies Top Factoring Companies For Trucking Top Rated Factoring Companies TYPES OF COMPANIES THAT USE INVOICE FACTORING Cable and Telecommunications Trucking Manufacturing Oilfield Services Security Staffing Wholesale Manufacturing—Food Manufacturing—Plastics Manufacturing—Precision Tools Manufacturing—Pallets Trucking Container Drayage Intermodal Autobody Repair Facility Maintenance Road Flaggers Machine Shop Service Providers Commercial Cleaning Hot Shot Trucking And Many More...
