What Sets Us Apart from the Rest
Why Use Flexible Financing
Instead of Invoice Factoring
Invoice factoring can provide quick cash, but it requires selling receivables at a discount and handing over collections. Fora Financial offers fast, flexible capital based on your total revenue, not just invoices, with no third-party involvement or usage restrictions.
Maintain control of customer relationships, access more funding beyond outstanding invoices, and benefit from a simpler application process with clear, predictable terms.
| Invoice Factoring | Fora Financial Working Capital | |
|---|---|---|
| Approval speed | Days to weeks | As little as 4 hours |
| Collateral required | Your invoices (sold at a discount) | No pledged collateral |
| Customer relationship impact | Third party contacts your customers | No customer involvement |
| Use of funds | Limited to invoice value | Any business purpose |
| Funding amount | Tied to receivables volume | Based on overall revenue |
| Cost structure | Factoring fees per invoice | Transparent, fixed terms |
| Works without large invoice volume | No | Yes |
