Scenario: You offer your Customer NET 60 or NET 90 terms even and your competitor (who isn't factoring) offers your customer NET 30, but has a 5% better price. Even if you factor this invoice with a 5% discount, you not only won the business, but you also did so without incurring any additional costs not to mention the positive effect on cash flow and margins.

Establish Credit with Suppliers

• By paying your suppliers on time, you become a good customer that may lead to more favorable prices and an extention of credit from the supplier.
