Factoring Accounts Receivable - FAQ's
 

What is Invoice Discounting?
Invoice discounting, also known as Accounts Receivable Factoring, is a financial transaction whereby your company sells its invoices (accounts receivable) to raise immediate cash.

What does Invoice Discounting offer my company?
Invoice Discounting provides you with cash today rather than waiting for payment from your customer. This ensures that you can meet current obligations and know that you have the financing in place for your next major sale. Invoice Discounting is short term financing that grows as quickly as your business.

What type of company can benefit from Invoice Discounting?
Small to medium sized companies that require improved cash flow as a result of strong sales growth and are doing business with good quality customers.

What size of transaction does TCE finance?
TCE will finance transactions up to $4 million. 


Will TCE purchase invoices from new businesses or companies that have lost money?
Yes. TCE is focused on purchasing invoices due from good quality customers. In most cases, we can help even if your company does not have any established track record or has incurred losses to date.

Will TCE purchase invoices if my company already has Bank financing?
Yes. Invoice Discounting can generally be used in conjunction with your present Bank financing.

Will TCE purchase invoices payable by companies outside of Canada?
Yes. TCE specializes in purchasing invoices from good quality customers. These customers may be located in Canada or the United States. Other international receivables will be assessed on an individual basis and may have to be insured.


Does my company have to sell all of its receivables?
No. You can sell as few or as many invoices as you wish.

What type of invoices can I sell to TCE?
TCE will purchase good quality, fully earned invoices. TCE does not finance purchase orders.

Will my clients have to know that I am selling my invoices to TCE?
No. If your company qualifies, TCE can establish your facility so that your clients will not be notified that you have sold your invoices to TCE. Your client will send the payment to you and you will forward the cheque to TCE. You will continue to issue invoices and conduct collections as you have in the past. We refer to this structure as “non-notification”.

What percentage of the invoice amount can I expect to receive?
TCE will advance up to 90% of the face value of the invoices. The remaining balance (known as a holdback) is returned to you net of TCE fees once the invoices have been paid.


Is there an application fee?
There is no fee to apply. Once your application has been approved, TCE will issue an Expression of Interest Letter (EOI). Upon acceptance of the EOI Letter, TCE requires a modest processing fee to conduct due diligence and issue the final Terms Letter. Once the Terms Letter is accepted, legal documents are prepared and the facility is activated.

How long does it take to review my financing application?
TCE will provide a decision within 48 hours of receipt of a complete financing application package.

Once an invoice is submitted, how long does it take before the funds are advanced?
Funds can be advanced the same day the invoice is submitted.

How does TCE assess its financing charges?
TCE assesses its financing charges on a daily basis and charges for the actual number of days that the invoice is outstanding (from the date of purchase to date of payment).

 
What happens if my customer does not pay?
Invoice Discounting is recourse financing. If your customer does not pay the invoice, you are responsible to reimburse TCE for funds owing. This is done by issuing payment for the funds owing or, more typically, by discounting additional invoices and using the proceeds to pay down the amount owing.

Can you advance me funds secured by my inventories? Do you provide inventory loans?
Yes. If your company qualifies, TCE can set up a short term revolving loan, secured by your inventory. Margin rates depend on the nature of the inventory.
Does TCE provide other types of financing?
Yes. TCE provides facilities secured by inventory and equity in fixed assets including real estate. TCE also finances Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) Tax Credits.
