How much does freight factoring cost in Florida?

Pricing in Florida is the same as everywhere we lend: typically 1.5%–4% flat per load. Your exact rate depends on monthly volume, your customers' credit and average days-to-pay.

What size Tampa businesses do you fund?

We fund Tampa companies with facilities from $25,000 to $25 million, from owner-operators and startups to mid-market firms with eight-figure revenue.

Do I need good credit to qualify in Tampa?

Not necessarily. Approval is based mostly on the creditworthiness of your customers and the quality of your invoices or purchase orders, not your personal credit score.

Which Tampa industries use freight factoring most?

In the Tampa area we see strong demand from import/export, construction, staffing, healthcare companies, along with professional services and B2B suppliers.

Will my Tampa customers know I'm using freight factoring?

It depends on the structure. Traditional factoring sends your customers a notice of assignment directing payment to a lockbox. Confidential, non-notification facilities are available to qualifying Tampa businesses — ask your advisor which your file supports.

Is there a long-term contract or minimum volume?

Not on our spot programs — you can finance a single invoice. Full-ledger facilities carry a term and a monthly minimum in exchange for a lower rate. Both options are quoted side by side so you can compare them before signing.

What happens if a Tampa customer pays late or not at all?

Under a recourse facility you repurchase the invoice or swap it for another after an agreed number of days. Under non-recourse, we absorb the loss if an approved customer becomes insolvent — though commercial disputes over quality or delivery are excluded from both.
