    Why the rate is lower
    One swap does the work
    Factoring credit-checks you and every customer. This checks the insurer instead.
    1. 01 The insurance takes the risk A trade credit policy covers your invoices — yours, or one we arrange. The insurer's credit rating is what gets priced, instead of a file on each of your customers.
    2. 02 Your invoices join a bigger pool Insured invoices from several companies are pooled and sold to institutional investors through Cantor Fitzgerald. The size of that pool is part of why the cost comes down.
    3. 03 The checking runs on software Invoices, shipping records and certificates are read and monitored automatically, which keeps the cost of checking low enough to show up in your rate.
    4. 04 You take the cash Waiting for the quarterly window is cheapest. Need it sooner and there's a facility that funds immediately for about 2 points more — most companies start there and move across.

    What we'd need, and what we assumed
    Three documents, thirty minutes, no data room.
    01 — Ageing report

    Whatever your system exports

    It shows how much is owed, how customers actually pay, and how sales are spread.

    02 — Current facility

    Rate, fees and advance rate

    Your last factor or lender statement. The saving is measured against it.

    03 — Policy, if any

    Carrier and terms

    The schedule and covered buyer list. No policy is normal — placing one is part of the engagement.

    What's owed to you. Sales on invoice ÷ 365 × average days to pay. It's a yearly average, so a seasonal business sits above it in busy months.

    Cost, as a yearly rate. Fees paid in a year ÷ the cash actually out that year. It's the only fair way to compare "2% an invoice" with "9% a year".

    The rate here. The quarterly window starts at 8.5% a year and moves for your largest customer, how much is owed, your payment terms and whether insurance is already in place — staying between 7% and 10%. Funding straight away costs about 2 points more. Ranges, because the final number comes from an insurer and an investor.

    How much you get up front. Modelled at 80–90% of what's owed. Anything above what you get today shows as cash freed — money released, not extra profit.

    Insurance premium. 0.25% of the sales that can be covered — a mid-market benchmark, not an insurer's quote. Where there's no policy we subtract it, so the saving shown is after paying for cover.

    Not included. Legal set-up, wire and audit fees, minimum-volume charges, and any exit fee on an existing factoring agreement.

    Get a real number

    The same invoices. A much lower price.

    It works like factoring day to day, and it's priced like something much bigger. Thirty minutes on your current facility is enough to know.
