Factoring is a type of alternative financing that allows you to take control of your cash flow by selling your accounts receivable to a third party (also known as a factor) to obtain immediate working capital. Now, instead of waiting for your customers to pay based on 30-, 60-, or even 90-day terms, you get cash immediately, and the factor collects the payment later.

These factors contribute to the sector’s generally high credit quality, with only seven states rated below AA.
