Invoice factoring
Invoice factoring is a financing structure where a business sells its unpaid invoices to a third-party factor at a discount. The factor advances a percentage of the invoice value immediately, then collects payment directly from your customer. Once the invoice is paid, the factor releases the reserve minus its fee. This approach provides cash without adding debt to your balance sheet, which matters for Yorktown businesses that need liquidity without leveraging real estate or equipment.
As a broker, Mapleharbor Funding reviews your receivables aging, customer creditworthiness, and invoice terms to connect you with factors whose underwriting criteria fit your file. We explain what strengthens approval odds: invoices to creditworthy commercial or government customers, clear payment history, and accurate documentation.
Invoice factoring
Yorktown's economy includes defense contractors, marine services, and professional firms serving government clients along George Washington Memorial Highway. Many of these businesses invoice on net-30 or net-60 terms, yet payroll and supplier obligations arrive weekly. Factoring lets you convert those receivables into operating cash without waiting for payment cycles to close.
Consider a marine maintenance contractor based near the Yorktown waterfront who completes a project for a federal agency. The invoice sits unpaid for 45 days under standard government payment terms. Factoring that receivable provides immediate funds to cover crew wages and material orders for the next job, keeping operations moving while the agency processes payment.
Invoice factoring
We start by reviewing your invoice portfolio and customer base. Factors underwrite based on your customers' ability to pay, not your credit score alone. We identify which funders will accept your invoice mix, whether that includes government receivables, commercial accounts, or both.
Our Yorktown clients appreciate transparency about what factors require: verified invoices, proof of delivery or service completion, and customers with documented payment histories. We walk you through the application, help you organize documentation, and present your file to funders whose terms match your needs.
